As part of the restoration, the BMC is conducting extensive anti-termite treatment to address the infestation
The Byculla house was meant to be a temporary arrangement. The original Mayor's Bungalow, a 1928-built structure located at Shivaji Park in Dadar, was officially handed over to the Balasaheb Thackeray Memorial Public Trust in 2018
To accommodate the mayor, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) decided to construct a new bungalow on a 4,300 square-metre plot adjacent to the original bungalow at Shivaji Park
