| church (pipe) organ design divider for the Marine Drive (a.k.a.
| Queen's Necklace) heritage precinct
It is yet another case of how the state government found itself
violating the heritage rules it made 12 years ago. The Mumbai Urban
Heritage Conservation Committee (MUHCC) has rejected the design of the
newly-laid concrete pipe divider along the stretch of the Queen’s
Necklace, which is a critical part of the ongoing beautification plan of
Marine Drive, funded by MMRDA
....
Ratan Batliboi, architect of this Rs130-crore two phase project pleaded
non-guilty.
“The design has been approved by the state-appointed empowered
committee, and even the Citizen’s Action Group. I have not been
informed about the rejection of design so far,” he said.
