A carcass of over 30-foot-long whale washed ashore near the Breach Candy Hospital area at the Mumbai Coastal Road project work site on Tuesday.

The Range Forest Officer (RFO) Central Mumbai Suresh Varak from Mangroves Cell said, "Upon receiving the information, our team reached the spot and the carcass was removed. As the dead whale was about 30-feet-long, it was very difficult to remove it. With the help of two large JCBs, the carcass was shifted to the dumper and transported to conduct further procedures and later buried."
