Over 1.5 years after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) reopened Byculla’s Dr Bhau Daji Lad museum following a two-year restoration project at Mumbai’s oldest such facility, it has decided to outsource its surveillance and security.

This will include round-the-clock monitoring of display items, daily patrols for suspicious activity or security breaches, and prevention of unauthorised access, theft, and trespassing. No incidents have been reported so far, and security is being beefed up preemptively.
