The iconic Hanging Gardens of Mumbai, a 136-year-old landmark, may well be the next casualty of infrastructure development in the city. A plan to reconstruct a colonial-era reservoir under the terraced garden on Malabar Hill will keep it out of bounds in a phase-wise manner for up to seven years.
Officials informed about the plan of reconstruction of the reservoir in the time period of seven years. They also said that the entire landscape area would need to be taken apart in addition to cutting down and transplanting about 350 trees on an adjoining plot.
