BMC Considers Residential Conversion of Defunct Alexandra Cinema Plot in Nagpada
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is considering a proposal to convert the 1,005 sq m plot of the defunct Alexandra Cinema in Nagpada from cinema and entertainment use to residential use. The cinema, closed since 2007, has remained unused and structurally deteriorated. The Kamathipura Vikas Samiti opposes the change, urging the BMC to retain the cinema reservation to preserve recreational space amid ongoing redevelopment in the area. The proposal follows applications from the Maharashtra State Wakf Board and the plot's occupant seeking land-use change.
