The friendly neighbourhood Maharashtra Nature Park (MNP), a green lung on the heavily polluted Bandra-Sion Link Road, is set for a makeover but with citizens' approval. Park officials said that they are inviting public suggestions to incorporate in a new master plan that is soon to be drafted.
A 10-member committee — headed by retired IFS officer Ravindra Sule, the former principal chief conservator of the state—¿ has been formulated to overlook the physical and educational development of the park, MNP deputy director Avinash Kubal said. Over the next month, the committee has invited ideas and opinions from the public, park visitors, educational institutes and environmentalists which will be scrutinized and shortlisted for the master plan. Aside from MMRDA and MNP officials, the committee also includes well-known scientist, taxonomist and educationist Dr C S Lattoo, architect and head of Rachna Sansad College of Environmental Architecture Roshni Udyavar and landscape designer and scientific officer of the cosmetic maintenance section of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Dr C K Salunkhe.
"When MNP was built in 1994, our environmental issues as well as methods of communication were different. Today, the city faces pressing problems of carbon emission, water shortage, garbage collection and pollution. To keep our message of saving the environment effective, we need to make our methodology more public-oriented and modern. That's why we have invited the public to give us inputs on the changes needed," said Kubal. He said that the MMRDA was willing to fund as much as Rs 20 crore for this makeover.
Soon, the MNP plans to publish advertisement calling for the public to come forth with their ideas. Emails and collective online messages on e-groups will also be posted out soon.
"By September, our panel will start reviewing the suggestions, and shortlist the valuable ones. During that time, we also plan to call for proposals from agencies to chart a masterplan," he added. "By December, the committee plans to shortlist an agency and by February we are trying to finalise the master plan," he said.
