BANDRA TALAO TUSSLE The Bandra Talao is a small lake, located near the Bandra Railway Station. In earlier times, it was also called ‘Motha Sarovar’ and at times known as ‘Lotus Tank’. This Talao is more than 200 years old - and is a Grade II heritage structure. Area wise, it is spread across more than 7 acres. Just gazing at the entire waters, gives you a sense of serenity. Today, it is in the eye of the storm. Recently, the ‘credit clash’ between the Congress, BJP and Shiv Sena has heightened – each highlighting their contribution towards making efforts to make this project happen. The Congress beat the BJP-Shiv Sena, who had planned a inauguration in the first week of December – and went ahead with the inauguration on 29th November 2014. This has led the BJP-Shiv Sena to react; calling it “unofficial” - and that
many “changes” will need to be made to the project plans, suggesting that there would soon be an official inauguration of the project by the Mayor of Mumbai, Snehal Ambekar. UPGRADATION OF BANDRA TALAO The much awaited upgradation & beautification of Swami Vivekanand Sarovar (Bandra Talao) is to begin soon, after a delay of around five years. This has been made possible, after the constant, rigorous efforts & follow ups of Ms. Priya Dutt Ex-MP & Mr. Baba Siddique Ex-MLA during their tenure; along with Mr. Asif Zakaria (during his previous term) and now Ms. Karen D’Mello, the current local Municipal Corporator, Ward # 96.
