IS THIS INDIA'S GATEWAY?
A trip to The Gateway Of India brings, filth, dirt, chaos, encroaching hawkers, beggars, and such odds into sight. Slowly these parasites are overshadowing the beauty of The Gateway, which happens to be the pride of Mumbai. Every foreign tourist coming in the city would like to make a peep in here. The monument comes with a history, which needs to be preserved. So as the government plans to renovate the Gateway’s Landscape, I would also recommend keeping a check on these activities. If possible, start ticket system to enter the monumental area, as they do for The Taj Mahal and other monuments of the country. I would also like if the tourism police try to maintain the decorum of the area, by actually implementing the rule of ‘Fine for littering the area’. I don’t object hawker’s intrusion if people are interested in them, but then at least they should be organized and not allowed to intrude area more than a certain limit. When we try to make our city clean, let us start by the monument that represents the city.
