Sangeet Samrat Naushad Ali Marg Explained

The Sangeet Samrat Naushad Ali Marg (formerly known as Carter Road Promenade) is a long walkway along the Arabian Sea on the western coast of Mumbai, India.[1] This promenade was opened up to the public in January 2002.[2] The promenade has been managed by the Bandra West Residents' Association.[2] The Carter Road Promenade extends up to Khar Danda.

In May 2008, Carter Road was renamed as Sangeet Samrat Naushad Ali Marg, in the memory of Bollywood music director Naushad Ali.[3]
