Juhu Beach Drowned in Plastic and Sewage

Juhu Beach, a popular Mumbai destination, was recently found strewn with plastic, household waste, and sewage after a high tide deposited large amounts of garbage along its shores. The incident has again highlighted the persistent challenges Mumbai faces with marine pollution and waste management.

Access to sections of the beach was temporarily halted, with lifeguards and police present to guarantee public safety. The shoreline was visibly littered with items such as plastic bottles, food wrappers, footwear, and cloth pieces, alongside patches of sewage-laden water.

This unfortunate event draws attention to Juhu Beach's ranking among the world's most polluted beaches. Reports indicate that the beach receives industrial waste and untreated sewage, leading to unsafe conditions due to high bacteria levels.
