Mumbai: 2,500 MT garbage washes ashore after heavy rains

Heavy monsoon rains and high tides have pushed over 2,500 metric tonnes of garbage onto Mumbai's beaches, with Juhu Beach accounting for nearly 72% of the waste. Civic officials blame indiscriminate dumping into drains, which flows into the sea and is returned by high tides. Environmentalists warn of harm to marine life and secondary pollution from landfill leachate.
