Why is Mumbai's Juhu beach covered in garbage
The residents of Juhu are now traversing tonnes of garbage as the BMC is still in the process of issuing tenders for the 6km beach clean-up. According to joggers from Juhu Beach, tonnes of garbage accumulate in May and then disappear in September. The beaches were previously maintained with modern equipment, but this year they are being cleaned manually. One local attributed the problem to illegal dumping in the nullahs. &ldquo;The Versova nullah is a hotspot for ragpickers to dump garbage illegally, which then accumulates on the beach, and the BMC doesn&rsquo;t clean it,&rdquo; he said. <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/why-is-mumbais-juhu-beach-covered-in-garbage-23371115" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Read More</a>

I know, delusion can equal patriotism, sometimes. Especially, with movies, for what else are films, if not fantasies, first. That said, the sheer delulu around a dapperly-dressed, foreign ministry bureaucrat, carefully selecting snazzy #ootd&mdash;strutting around in her fancy apartment and office, like some US Vice President type from Veep, as TV channels go high-decibel berserk, breaking news of her getting anointed India&rsquo;s youngest deputy high commissioner to Britain&mdash;should warn you enough about all that&rsquo;s to follow in this pretentious nonsense. <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/ulajh-movie-review-janhvi-kapoor-gulshan-devaiah-roshan-mathew-pretentious-nonsense-23371081" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Read More</a>
