Authorities in Mumbai have initiated a special drive to tackle the rising issues of illegal racing and vehicular noise pollution on the newly inaugurated coastal road, PTI reports. The initiative comes in response to growing safety concerns following a fatal accident and multiple complaints from residents about excessive noise levels.

According to PTI, the crackdown follows a tragic incident on 8th February, when a 19-year-old college student lost her life after the car driven by her friend overturned on the coastal road in South Mumbai. The accident has reignited concerns about reckless driving on the stretch.
