However, the rollout of this new ticketing system has now been postponed following public concern and scrutiny. Located in Borivali, the 103.84 sq km national park is one of Mumbai’s most visited green spaces, attracting over 2 million visitors annually. Authorities have not yet announced a new timeline for implementing the revised rates, and existing ticket prices will continue for now as officials review the proposal further. Mumbai Water Cut: BMC Proposes 10% Water Reduction Starting May 1 Due to Falling Lake Levels.
