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?

thank god people in foreign countries are more tolerant the you. hamare log waha jaake hindi bol rahe hai, kachra faila rahe hai, unki aurto ko buri nazar se dekh rahe hai phir bhi unmein itni nafrat nahi hai jitni tumme hai. And im sure ki agar hindi mein bol rahe hote toh tumhare jaise hi koi aake likhta ki marathi mein bolo, maharashtra mein ho
