Kala Ghoda, a notable art district in Mumbai, will soon see a change as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) enforces a pedestrian-only policy. Beginning August 31, selected internal roads—Forbes Street, Saibaba Street, Rope Walk Street, and B. Bharucha Road—will be vehicle-free on weekend evenings from 7 pm to 12 am. This move follows a proposal from the Kala Ghoda Association, known for organizing the annual Kala Ghoda Festival. The BMC's project aims to enhance the area with cobbled pathways, wall paintings, and street art. Beautification work is expected to start in October, aiming to attract more tourists and improve the neighborhood's aesthetic appeal.
