Mumbai, Jun 30 (IANS): The famed Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of south Mumbai have been named as the latest entrants to the coveted World Heritage Sites list, said an announcement by Unesco on Saturday.

"Just inscribed as @UNESCO #World Heritage Site: Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai, India. Congratulations," said a UNESCO tweet a short while ago.
