Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde ushered in the nation's 80th Independence Day by opening the Mayor's Bungalow to local residents for morning walks on Saturday. After raising the national flag at the official residence earlier, Tawde opened the main entrance gate for senior citizens to enjoy the scenic surroundings. The initiative addresses the difficulty senior citizens faced in finding open spaces for their daily walks.
The picturesque area surrounding the Mayor's Bungalow in Byculla will now be accessible from 6 am to 9 am, allowing citizens to stroll along the pathway and enter the expansive grounds. Tawde, who began residing at the residence in June 2026, initiated the move to provide a calm and nature-rich environment for morning walkers, particularly senior citizens.
The local community welcomed the decision, praising the Mayor's concern for public welfare. Meanwhile, the practice of allowing morning walkers inside the nearby Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Botanical Garden and Zoo was discontinued last month, aligning with animal welfare guidelines issued by the Central Zoo Authority.
