Mumbai: Bandra park named after Darryl D’Monte

MUMBAI: A recreational ground in Bandra was named after Darryl D’Monte, former resident editor of The Times of India, Mumbai on Sunday.
D’Monte, who took over as resident editor of TOI in 1988, passed away in March 2019 at age 75. An inauguration ceremony was held on Sunday morning with a symbolic tree plantation ceremony by his family members to mark the occasion.
The garden is located on D’Monte Road in Bandra (West).
Local Congress corporator Asif Zakaria said he had moved the proposal and it was approved a few months ago in the BMC general body meeting.
“Attended naming of the garden in memory of renowned journalist, writer, environmentalist, activist, green crusader as "Late Darryl D'monte Park" at Bandra with D'Monte family, friends and well-wishers,” Zakaria tweeted.
