A corner of Little Gibbs Road next to Malabar Hill Club and Acropolis building has turned from a dump to a green nook, and the dead-end of a road has come alive. Malabar Hill residents and some members of the Little Gibbs Road 1, 2 and 3 Advance Locality Management (ALM) said that the inauguration of the compact space took place recently. Now the area is open as an aesthetic, green space for the public.
The project was planned a few months ago. It was brought executed by both the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the ALM. The green patch was built at a slight elevation which is a break from the grey concrete lanes.
Locals said that it was unused space, and a scrap collector used to operate from there. Sometimes, there was debris lying around. The ALM took the initiative along with the civic body to change this space with some plants, grass and saplings. While praising the BMC gardeners, Capt. A Malkani said they had brought their enthusiasm and collective green thumbs to this project.
Meanwhile, the gardeners hoped that the people would enjoy this little space and maintain it. They also wished that people didn't throw rubbish over the little fence and defile it.
