Overview
- The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said Wednesday it has cleared roughly 1,800 metric tonnes of garbage from Juhu Beach over the past 10 days.
- BMC officials report the shoreline is receiving about 350 tonnes of waste daily compared with a normal 60 tonnes, creating a sustained cleanup burden.
- The civic body is carrying out 24/7 operations that remove about 180 tonnes a day using extra beach cleaners, bobcats, dumpers, JCBs, poclains and dozens of additional sanitation workers.
- Collected material is being sent for scientific processing and disposal while officials urge tourists and residents to stop littering and keep debris out of drains.
- Opposition leaders have blamed incomplete pre‑monsoon desilting for the surge and the BMC is considering measures such as trash booms where drains meet the sea to reduce future inflows and protect local livelihoods.
