Colaba BJP corporator Makarand Narwekar has urged BMC Commissioner Ashwini Bhide to include Colaba Causeway and MG Road in Kala Ghoda under the ‘Pedestrian First’ policy. Residents and activists said hawker encroachments have reduced walking space despite court directions on unauthorised hawkers. BMC launched the pedestrian initiative in June 2026.
