Alternative design of coastal road project proposed to save Parsi Gate The civic authority had also approached the Bombay Parsi Punchayet seeking its approval in removing the structure. In an attempt to save the Parsi Gate structure from relocation, members of the Parsi community have proposed an alternative plan for the ongoing Coastal Road Project. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had earlier announced, to shift the hundred-year-old structure for constructing a tunnel on the outer edges of the Marine Drive precinct. The civic authority had also approached the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) seeking its approval in removing the structure. Earlier this week, a group of concerned citizens met municipal commissioner, Iqbal Singh Chahal and proposed the alternate design. According to the new design, the proposed tunnel could be constructed in the middle of the road, this way it would also not affect the Parsi Gate structure.
