The Tourism Ministry said it will support the Maharashtra Government to make Kala Ghoda a hub of heritage and culture, mostly open air, on the lines of New Yorks Times Square. The final decision on the exact location in the area will be taken keeping in mind issues such as ensuring that there is no disturbance to vehicular traffic and ensuring maximum activity.
The Ministry said that the vision is to provide popular entertainment as well as access to heritage and culture for the benefit of international tourists, domestic tourists and the people of Mumbai. Some of the features will include a 15 ft Flag of India, made of hard transparent materials and lit from within similar to the US flag in Times Square, and large neon signs!!
THE FUTURE OF DESIGN OPPOSES THIS PROPOSAL. THIS IS AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF MUMBAI AND OF INDIA TO COME TOGETHER TO SUPPORT OUR EFFORT TO STOP THE EXECUTION OF THIS PROPOSAL.
