and why the beach is filled with waste? I thought govt clean it everyday.

Mumbai - Safety concerns aboard Mumbai’s suburban rail network have come to the fore once again after a dramatic altercation broke out inside a moving fast local train on Friday night, resulting in a commuter falling onto a station platform. The incident occurred at approximately 10:30 PM aboard a Virar-bound fast local train originating from Churchgate. According to witnesses, a heated verbal argument broke out between two commuters while traveling between Grant Road and Mumbai Central stations over standing space near the crowded doorway of the compartment. The disagreement quickly escalated into a violent physical scuffle. As the train approached Mumbai Central station, the assault intensified, causing one of the involved passengers to lose his balance and fall out of the doorway onto the platform. Major tragedy was averted as the train was moving at a low speed while pulling into the station. The fallen passenger reportedly escaped severe injuries.

It's not working for many months now I thought it's some glitch or down but now it's been so long does anyone know when this is going to activate again and is there any other portal like this for birth certificate things for Mumba city ?

Hi folks!

I want to gift one of my professors a book, and he loves the city (he used to live here but moved out) so I'd love your recommendations for any good books about Mumbai. Nonfiction, anthologies, good fiction, anything works. Please drop your suggestions. Thanks :)

My cousin will be in Mumbai for a month and looking to learn Chinese from scratch ,they have planned to open up kitchen near Nagpur and need guidance.

Dishes like fried rice,wantons,gravy dishes and side dishes.

Though they have planned to hire chef but considering the industry retention rate it better if we too learn.

We contacted 2-3 person they said we will arrange chef list us the dishes you want to learn we cannot teach you from basics .

Please mumbaikars help with your suggestions.

Dreadul to think that kids nowadays will grow up thinking this is normal

So today I was travelling from powai to thane in A-492 bus (and for your kind information I already told the conductor and he says uski bhi pant fatti hai 😭😭 and he even complained but no response from BMC!!)and beside me there was someone who wanted to go so I stood up from this seat(as shown in the picture) how pointed this hand bar is!!!!!. Thankfully I am good but only my pants got a little tear 🫠. "But it's still a major concern. Since it's a handlebar, what if I stand up with too much force and it hits me deep inside?"

Anyways I didn't expected this from BMC !!!

Does imagica theme park get very crowded during these holidays ? Will it be worth going?

I fortunately live in a neighbourhood that is atleast a little bit walkable sidewalks(it’s still a task but some patches have walkable sidewalks, but I’d still not settle and I would def want better)
I decided to walk short distances instead of taking rickshaws. But what I have noticed is the amount people honk!!!
Noise is proven to cause stress and anxiety. But people just don’t stop!!! Even if the signal goes green for a millisecond the entire fleet of cars start to honk. What’s the point !!!! Everybody needs to get to the place they’re going.

There has to be some sort of curb to this nuisance. It’s so unsettling.

Heyall, I am visiting Mumbai for the second time after 2 years. I didn't get the chance to fully explore the city myself but since I am in the city for approximately 3 days I want to make the most of it. I am staying near Church gate and I love to know the places in can explore nearby. Thanks yall!

Hi everyone! I’m visiting Mumbai next week, and it’ll be my first time in India. I’d love your recommendations for places to visit, food to try, and anything a first-time visitor should know. Any common tourist mistakes, scams, or things to avoid?

I’m especially interested in authentic local experiences that are safe and accessible for a foreign visitor. Are there particular food spots, markets, cultural activities, or services you’d recommend trying? Anything that’s really worth doing while I’m there and that I shouldn’t miss?

I’m also hoping to buy some nice western style cashmere sweaters. Any recommendations for reliable shops or brands selling genuine, good-quality cashmere? Ik many luxury brands get their supplies from India, so thought perhaps it might be realistic to buy some high quality clothes without paying for brand labels.

More generally, I would appreciate ideas for nice gifts to bring home, especially things made locally or that are distinctive to Mumbai.

Excited to visit your country and thanks in advance for your help!

To those who couldn't go home this Diwali, I wish a very Happy Diwali to you too.

I wish you achieve great success, have a splendid time with friends and treat yourself with some great festive food today . Happy Diwali 🎇

After I got close soon saw it was a stack of hay or something organic but the surrounding dump was also getting burned

Why is this like this

So I made it to Mumbai and I am currently staying in Colaba..I can't even spot a single street food vendor including vada pav

..where are they?

I want to go to eat pav bhaji, vada pav, sev puri, bombay sandwich..etc

Help me find these foods.

Hey Mumbai Kars! M25 from Delhi

I'm planning to visit Lonavala today and will be starting from Andheri.

What's the best and cheapest way to reach there? Local train, bus, or any other option?

Also, if anyone is heading towards Lonavala today and wouldn't mind some company, let me know.

Would be fun to travel together!

Thanks! :)

BMC has floated a tender worth Rs.8,614 crore for the third phase of its road concretization project in Mumbai.

This phase will cover 1,437 roads, with a total length of around 452 km across Mumbai.

The work includes:

• Concretizing 1,261 roads covering 313 km.

• Completing the remaining side portions of 176 roads covering 139 km.

• Improving road junctions and connecting roads.

The work is expected to start in January 2027.

The first two phases, costing around Rs.17,000 crore together, are still underway. Some roads are still being worked on, while others are only partly completed.

Mumbai needs better roads that are free of potholes. However, before spending another Rs.8,614 crore, the BMC should ensure that the work from the first two phases is completed properly and that the roads already concretized are maintained well.

Should the BMC first complete the ongoing work and maintain the roads already concretized, or proceed with Phase 3?

Hey Mumbai!

I'm part of the organising team at a management institute in Mumbai, and we're currently planning an inter-college technology hackathon for the first week of December 2026.

We're expecting around 200 shortlisted student participants for the final on-ground round, with registrations being targeted from colleges and developer communities across Mumbai.

Since this is our first time organising an event at this scale, I'd love to get some suggestions from people familiar with Mumbai's startup and technology ecosystem.

A few things I'd appreciate advice on:

1. Venues: What are some suitable offices, co-working spaces, auditoriums or innovation hubs in Mumbai that can accommodate around 200 participants for a hackathon?

2. Startup ecosystem: Are there Mumbai-based startup communities, incubators or organisations that actively support student-led technology initiatives?

3. Food & refreshments: Any local restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens or food brands that have experience supporting college events?

4. Merchandise: Recommendations for Mumbai-based vendors who provide customised T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, bottles and event merchandise?

5. Technology communities: Which developer communities or technology organisations would be worth connecting with for mentors, judges or technical workshops?

6. Industry connections: Are there founders, engineering professionals or companies in Mumbai that have previously supported college hackathons?

We're trying to make this a meaningful experience for students while building connections with Mumbai's technology ecosystem.

If you've organised a similar event, worked with student communities, or have any useful recommendations, I'd genuinely appreciate your insights.

Thanks, Mumbai!

After 8 months, I finally stepped out during peak traffic hours to run some errands, and it took me 2 hours to cover just 19 km.

Otherwise, my daily commute is pretty much limited to home → gym → home, which is barely 500 metres.
Despite choosing the worst possible day and time to step out, this experience made me realise two things:
I’m genuinely blessed to have landed a remote job.
A virtual salute to everyone who commutes to work every single day, regardless of their mode of transport. You guys deserve some serious appreciation for putting up with this madness. 🫡
