On 20th Nov 2017, Maharashtra’s Environment Department directed administrative departments to notify Silence Zones across the state.
We’re now documenting compliance in the identified Silence Zones in Mumbai, and we need your help.
If you hear loudspeakers or loud amplified music in a Silence Zone, share the location and tag @MumbaiPolice @mybmc @mpcb_official and @sumairaabdulali
Mumbai needs noise-free zones. Not noise-free promises.

Remove encroachments and free up Mumbai's footpaths - BMC Commissioner @AshwiniBhide
At a review meeting held on Friday, BMC Commissioner Ashwini Bhide directed civic officials to prioritise the removal of encroachments from footpaths across Mumbai.
As per BMC, Assistant Commissioners have been instructed to clear footpaths near schools, hospitals, railway stations, Metro stations, bus terminals and markets by removing unauthorised hawkers, illegal structures and improperly constructed ramps to make them safe and accessible for pedestrians.
Commissioner said clean and unobstructed footpaths are a hallmark of a well-functioning city, noting that nearly 50 per cent of Mumbai's residents rely on walking as part of their daily commute. She added that encouraging greater use of footpaths would improve traffic flow and help reduce pollution.

June 11 marks the official onset date of the monsoon over Mumbai, but the city is still waiting. Hot and humid conditions continue to dominate, with the monsoon yet to make its much-awaited arrival.
Weather remains as unpredictable as ever. Last year, the monsoon reached Mumbai on May 26, 2025 well ahead of schedule. This year, however, the official onset date has come without rain.
For a city whose water security and daily life depend heavily on the monsoon, timely rainfall is crucial. Current weather models suggest rain activity could pick up after June 20, but for now, it’s wait & watch.

A storm of outrage erupted along #MarineDrive as the @MMRDAOfficial plans to drop a #TBM underground without consulting locals, sparking fears that the drill could spell disaster for the area’s fragile, 80-year-old #UNESCO_heritage buildings. #OrangeGate_MarineDrive #Tunnel
‘Facing constant noise, heat from Metro tower near our C’gate bldg’ Thakur Nivas residents face the heat. Literally. Not to mention the noise. Resolution pending @MumbaiMetro01 @MMRDAOfficial @richapintoi @TOIMumbai timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…
A single exit point on #MarineDrive for Southbound and Westbound traffic via 2 tunnels will lead to a choke point & unprecedented traffic issues! This is a planned disaster in the making. Which traffic study supports this?@MMRDAOfficial @mybmc @MTPHereToHelp @RoadsOfMumbai
#TUNNEL_TROUBLE: More than two dozen buildings along Mumbai’s iconic #MarineDrive recently received formal letters from infrastructure giant L&T, seeking NOCs to conduct pre-construction building condition surveys and structural monitoring. #OrangeGate_MarineDrive
This is unprecedented & wrong. Kindly intervene @CPMumbaiPolice @MTPHereToHelp @CMOMaharashtra @HNarwekar @mybmcWardA @rushikesh_agre_ thanks for highlighting. #MarineDrive #PedestriansOnly
