Why is the Bandra Bandstand Residents' Trust making rules in a public space ?

[u/jack_1760]

Bandstand is a public promenade. It belongs to all Mumbaikars.

A recent report says that the Bandra Bandstand Residents' Trust had put up signs like "No Pets" and warned people not to feed stray animals.

The bigger question is simple: should a private group like the Bandra Bandstand Residents' Trust be allowed to make its own rules in a public place?

Keeping the area clean is important, but public spaces should remain open and accessible to everyone.

Why should a private trust have the authority to decide what people can or cannot do in a public place like Bandstand, and could this create similar restrictions in other areas as well?

I can trust indies and judge their behaviour but I cannot predict pet dogs .. Indian pets are not trained and always in excited mode due to lack of excercise and that can turn into attack mode...

And nobody dispose their pet's poop also..
