Maharashtra Maritime Board Issues Notice to Bandra Bandstand Residents' Trust Over Maintenance Concerns
The Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB) has issued a show-cause notice to the Bandra Bandstand Residents' Trust (BBRT), questioning its compliance with the 2002 no-objection certificate (NOC) that allowed BBRT to maintain the Bandra Bandstand promenade. The notice cites unauthorized corporate partnerships, restrictions on public access, and failure to provide financial statements. BBRT denies wrongdoing, stating its actions serve the public interest. A hearing is scheduled for September 22, with MMB considering revoking BBRT's maintenance rights amid ongoing disputes over promenade access.
