Is Bandra Fort lost forever due to security for Taj Lands End Bandra?

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Bandra Fort

Security Guards have denied entry to common citizens to Bandra Fort and garden near Taj Lands End since the attack on Mumbai in November. On one side the police say public allowed access after being frisked but the residents of BandStand have something else to say. It seems that the security cordon around the Taj Lands End in Bandra has effectively blocked off access to the road that also leads to a public garden and the popular Bandra Fort.


Bandra Fort and garden are actually next to the Taj Lands End and The Sea Rock. The Sea Rock Hotel at BandStand, Bandra has been closed for a few years and is not really impacted but the Bandra Fort and the adjacent garden is a faily popular place for visitors, walkers and lovers looking for a peaceful place to sit. Bandra Fort and the Garden at the Bandra Fort are maintained by the Bandra Bandstand Residents Trust. The police on their part are being careful and trying any incident again and say they will allow visitors to pass after through after the check. However the situation on the ground seems different, with the security cordon swarming with private security guards and only a handful of armed policemen behind a sandbag bunker. When an attempt was made to go to the gardens and the fort, a security guard from the Taj said, No one is allowed to access the fort. In fact Taj Lands End near Bandra Fort also hosted a huge New Years Party with unprecedented security. The road to the hotel was actually blocked off almost 500 meters away from the hotels main gate and at least 3-4 building other than the Taj Bandra have got blocked as a result of this security cordon.
 
The difficult question for Taj Lands End Bandra’s officials, for the police officers in Bandra and for the citizens for Bandra is “how long can this situation last?”. Blocking the road with a security cordon is obviously not the solution to the problem. As the security cordon seems to block 3-4 buildings other than the Taj Hotel. The security cordon also blocks the entry to Sea Rock and the popular Bandra Fort. The Bandra Fort has been a venue to many cultural events and is a popular attraction in Bandra. Should we let go off all this in view of the security needed for a landmark like Taj? We dont think this is a permanent solution and some better solution will have to be found that will be a better balance between ensuring security for the Taj and also allow access to public places and continuation of the normal cultural life of the common Bandraites.

4 Ways to help families of victims of Mumbai Terror

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

After a month of Terror Attacks on Mumbai something has changed in Mumbai and still not much has changed. The public remains as angry as they were on November 26th as not much has been done to make us all feel safer and to ensure such a terror attack will not hit Mumbai or any other part of the country again.

The politicians remain as cozy as ever and continue to do live on as it the attack on Mumbai never happened. The politicians in Maharashtra from Vilasrao Deshmukh to Narayan Rane and Antulay did their bit to add to the anger. The public lead by some leaders within us all have started political and non political movements to tap into this anger and work to see how we can improve things in Mumbai, we all wait to see how many of them can survive the tough needs of public life and hope most of them continue their effort.

So at the end of one month after the Mumbai Terror Attacks where we lost almost 200 near and dear ones we try to look back once again and salute the people who fought an unfair battle with the terrorists who attacked us and saved so many lives. These brave men left behind their families and one of the things we need to do as citizens of Mumbai is to ensure their families live a good life and are taken care of.

3. Followed by the recent series of heinous terrorist attacks on several public places in Mumbai that took away the lives of some of our brave police personnel, Mumbai-based Trade Association of Information Technology (TAIT) has taken up a noble task in their immediate agendum.

All donation cheques should be in the name of ‘TAIT’. Those may be sent to C. W. Kadwadkar, Secretary, TAIT at 304, Kilfire House, Kilfire House Premises Co-op Society, C-17, Dalia Industrial Area, New Link Road, (Near) Fun Republic Cinema, Andheri (W), Mumbai 400053.

Contextually, all donations to this effect are exempted from tax as per rules under 80-G of Income Tax Act. Besides its primary objective of trade promotion, TAIT’s timely action in the social arena is obviously praiseworthy. The organization has just received Rs. 1,00,000 from Xerox for this cause. This shows Indians from all walks of life are always united for the national causes and welfare of the society.

4. An option NRIs to Donate for Mumbai Terror Victims

INDIA DEVELOPMENT & RELIEF FUND (IDRF), INC. [Tax - Exempt Public Charity under U.S. Internal Revenue Code, Section 501(c)(3)]
The recent terrorist attack in Mumbai has once again impelled the NRI community to revitalize the Special Fund, established by IDRF following the 1999 Kargil War. The Fund was named MNIF (Martyrs for National Integration Fund). Thanks to the confidence in IDRF reposed by the community and the sustained dedication of our volunteers, IDRF has made grants totaling $331,875 towards the relief, rehabilitation and self-empowerment of the War/Terrorism/Militancy affected families of soldiers/security personnel, etc..

Please generously contribute to this Special Fund. You may:
