Mumbai:<\/strong> In response to growing concerns from residents, authorities have decided to restrict access to the recently launched \u2018Melody Road\u2019 along Mumbai\u2019s Coastal Road during late-night hours. The unique musical stretch will now remain closed from 10 PM to 7 AM every Friday to Sunday on a trial basis.<\/h2>\n\n

The decision comes just a month after the project\u2019s launch, following multiple complaints from residents of the Breach Candy area. Locals have raised concerns over the continuous playing of the popular song \u2018Jai Ho,\u2019 stating that the repetitive music has disrupted the otherwise \u0936\u093e\u0902\u0924 residential environment.<\/p>\n\n

Residents, particularly senior citizens, reported significant inconvenience, claiming that the constant sound has affected their daily routines and forced them to keep windows shut. Members of the Breach Candy Residents\u2019 Forum also criticised authorities for implementing the project without prior public consultation, calling the experience increasingly irritating despite permissible noise levels.<\/p>\n\n

Taking note of the situation, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation conducted a site inspection and recorded sound levels at around 9 decibels\u2014within acceptable residential limits. However, officials acknowledged that the disturbance becomes more noticeable during nighttime, prompting immediate action.<\/p>\n\n

As part of interim measures, authorities have begun barricading sections of the stretch, particularly an L-shaped portion, to limit vehicular movement and reduce associated noise. The weekend night closure will be implemented on a trial basis, while the road will remain open during daytime and weekdays.<\/p>\n\n

The \u2018Melody Road,\u2019 touted as India\u2019s first musical roadway, was inaugurated on February 11 by Devendra Fadnavis in the presence of Eknath Shinde. While the concept initially attracted public curiosity, the recent backlash highlights the importance of balancing innovation with residents\u2019 comfort.<\/p>\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The move reflects a responsive approach by civic authorities, aiming to strike a balance between creative urban projects and the quality of life for citizens. The trial restrictions will likely determine the future course of the \u2018Melody Road\u2019 initiative.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
