After Alphonso mangoes, it’s now the humble ‘nimbu’ that’s burning pockets. In a spike over three weeks, lime prices have nearly doubled across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. At the APMC wholesale market, limes are now selling at Rs 5 per piece, up from Rs 2-R3 just weeks ago. Retail markets are no better, with prices touching Rs 20 for two li, es, compared to four for Rs 20 earlier. Traders at APMC dismissed the recent unseasonal rain as the reason behind the surge, pointing instead to a clear supply-demand mismatch. Rs 10Current price of one lime Lime markets RetailCurrent price R20 for two limes3 weeks ago Rs 20 for four limes WholesaleCurrent price Rs 5 for one lime3 weeks ago Rs 2-Rs 3 per limes Reason for surge . High summer demand (March-June peak). Limited supply from Andhra Pradesh . No arrivals from Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu. Added transport costs to retail markets Trend to continue? Traders say prices may stay high through April, which demand among customers is high, unless supply from other states resumes. Coolers turn up the heat From roadside stalls to small eateries, the price hike is forcing vendors to rethink pricing. Sunil Honrao, owner of Khanderaya Hotel, said, “Earlier, we used to give lime juice at Rs 15 per glass, but now we have increased it to Rs 20 due to rising lime prices.” Ajay Yadav, a juice seller from Nerul, added, “People rush for lime drinks during the summer, but now due to the price increase, we have doubled our rates from Rs 10 to Rs 20 per glass.” Youngsters beat the summer heat with nimbu pani. Pic/Abhitash Singh Homes feel pinch The price shock is now hitting kitchens across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Swapna Nelly, a resident of Vashi, said, “We used to use limes daily in dal and salads. Now we are using them only when needed.” Sunita Mishra, a resident of Nerul, added, “Earlier I would buy in bulk, now I just buy two to three limes. It feels expensive for such a basic item.”

Whose record is it anyway? Bhumika and Tanvi Nemade; (right)Tanvi Nemade in action. Pics Courtesy/Aman Verma A rare spectacle unfolded at the Senior National Jumprope Championship in Nashik earlier this week. Athlete Tanvi Nemade from Kalyan smashed the women’s record, held by her sister Bhumika since 2022. Spectators who missed the fierce 192-skip run got a second chance a tad too soon. “Moments later, Bhumika stepped in, and clocked 197 skips, reclaiming the record. At least the record is still in the family,” said the duo’s coach Aman Verma. The good Khabar Lahariyas Back in February 2013, this diarist had received a call from a visiting faculty member at TISS (Tata Institute of Social Sciences). It was a request for a few women reporters from marginalised communities across Chitrakoot and Banda districts of Uttar Pradesh to visit the mid-day newsroom, and engage with its staffers. The team, who were in Mumbai for the launch of their website, worked for Khabar Lahariya (news waves: Bundeli), a hyper-local newspaper. The publication, established in 2002, helmed entirely by women had empowered them by letting their pens do the talking amidst numerous challenges, including backlash from the community, often in the form of unsupportive local administration, and lack of funding. For us city-bred journalists, who take much for granted, it was insightful and eye-opening. It’s why the news that The Good Reporter (Simon & Schuster), will release soon, brought a smile to our face. It has been written by members, Disha Mullick, Geeta Devi, Harshita Verma, Kavita Bundelkhandi, Lakshmi Sharma, Lalita, Meera Devi, Nazni Rizvi, Shyamkali and Suneeta Prajapati. The book takes the slow process of history-telling, with layered and contradictory memories. We hope this leher sweeps across bookshelves across India. Oh Sugar! Rayford is here Sugaray Rayford at the Mahim club. Pics Courtesy/Revolver Club; (right) Sugaray Rayford and Manu Trivedi There was magic in the air at Mahim, as American Blues singer and songwriter Sugaray Rayford dropped by at The Revolver Club on Monday. The Grammy Award-nominee was in the city for the recently concluded NCPA Soulful Blues concerts, and stepped out to get some record shopping. “He just popped in because he had heard that we stock vinyls and records. He was delighted to find that we had a few John Coltrane records, and spoke about him for a long time. In fact, he pointed out how jazz performers possessed a cool ‘attitude’ as performers. It was something he tries to recreate himself,” shared Manu Trivedi, co-owner, The Revolver Club. Chaas, but not the least A volunteer distributes buttermilk during last year’s summer initiative. Pic Courtesy/GYF Rising temperatures and false promises of drizzles have inspired a young group to take matters into their own hands. This weekend, volunteers from the Global Youth Festival (GYF)will head to spots across the city, armed with bags of chilled buttermilk for construction workers, policemen, sanitation workers, and hospital staff. “You are more than welcome to join us in helping the city cool down,” a member told us. Those keen to accept the offer can log on to @globalyouthfestival.

This reporter last spoke to MLA Rahul Narwekar, as his name had cropped up in the matter, around 6.12 pm on Thursday, and civic officials took action less than two hours later. The following day, the eatery was closed, and staff could be seen vacating the premises with perishable raw material. An official seizes equipment from the eatery on Thursday.

Pic/Sarthak Mehta A BMC spokesperson said on Friday that officials from the civic body’s A ward had acted against the cafe on Thursday night and provided geo-tagged photos showing kitchen equipment being seized. The café’s manager, Geeta Mehar, who claims she works in the office of local corporator Makarand Narwekar, said, “We have closed the shop following directions of Makarand sir and staff of the NGO [that runs the toilet facility].” Several attempts were made by this reporter to contact the corporator, but he did not respond by press time. 8PMApprox time eatery was closed on Thursday mid-day’s investigation mid-day’s Friday report highlighted claims made by cafe manager Geeta Mehar, where she stated that she did not possess any licence or documents necessary for her business, but produced a reference letter from MLA Rahul Narwekar and stated that the required documents were in Makarand Narwekar’s office. The legislator, in a statement to mid-day, refuted her claims. Shopkeepers hail action Small business owners in the vicinity of the toilet appreciated the action against the eatery. “This café’s operators were notorious as they claimed to be associated with the powerful Narwekar family. We struggle to get permissions and operate in constant fear, while these guys had been functioning fearlessly for over a year,” said a shopkeeper on the condition of anonymity. NGO speaks Ulka Sadalkar, chief operations officer of Madhumalati Foundation, said, “Our NGO operates and maintains that mobile bus and many more like it with help from the BMC and CSR funds. Geeta was allotted the spot under our women’s empowerment initiative, where she was approved to sell only packaged food and drinks. We had strictly conveyed no cooking is allowed there as it’s a fire hazard. She must have been running this venture behind our backs. Earlier in the year, we told her to stop the packaged food business as well.”

Bridges, tunnels, and signalling systems were upgraded to enhance safety and operational reliability across the region’s challenging terrain. Freight efficiency was boosted with an increase in RoRo carrying capacity from 50 MT to 57 MT. Operational efficiency at Madgaon station was improved with the extension of the Road-6 line for loco reversal. KRCL also introduced innovative solutions such as drone-based track monitoring, reducing maintenance downtime. Passenger-focused initiatives Over 1,400 special train services were operated last year, including Ganpati, Summer, Winter, FTR, and other special trains.

03 April,2026 11:35 PM IST | Nagpur | mid-day online correspondentIn a harrowing incident, 46 passengers on a Goa-bound private bus endured a terrifying hour as the driver allegedly drove under the influence, two men ultimately losing their lives at Sukeli Khind in Raigad district of Maharashtra. At 3 am on Friday, the bus (MP 13 ZP 4545) overturned off the Mumbai-Goa Highway at the notorious Sukeli Khind near Nagothane, leaving two dead and 22 seriously injured. The incident did not start at the cliffside—it began at a driver-change point in Kharpada. The midnight SOS According to the survivors and relatives of the passengers at MGM Hospital, Kamothe, the ordeal began when a new driver, Hemant Patil (36), took the wheel. Passengers immediately noticed he was allegedly intoxicated and driving erratically. "My nephew, Krunal, called us terrified," said Vishal Mhatre, the relative of a passenger. "The passengers actually forced the bus to stop. They got off the bus in the middle of the night, desperate to find another vehicle. They even filed a formal complaint on the 'Lal Pari' app, begging for intervention. But with no alternative transport at 2 am, they were forced back into what became a death trap," added Mhatre. An hour after the passengers' pleas went unanswered, the bus reached the steep, winding slopes of the Sukeli Valley. Witnesses say the speeding vehicle flipped multiple times, ejecting passengers through shattered windows into the pitch-black ravine. Naeem Nizam Sheikh (33) of Kamothe and Neelam Vaibhav Vibhute (40) of Panvel were killed instantly. The medical toll At MGM Hospital, the scene was one of chaos and heartbreak. "We received 22 patients—16 males and six females," said Dr Kuldeep Salgotra, dean of MGM Hospital. "Twelve are in serious condition, and five are in the ICU with multiple traumas to the head, chest, and pelvis. One young man has lost his foot entirely; the damage is too severe for reattachment," Dr Salgotra added. Among the survivors is a one-and-a-half-year-old toddler, whose miracle escape stands in stark contrast to the driver, Patil, who is currently in a coma at a government hospital in Alibaug. The Maharashtra government touts its "Lal Pari" and transport apps as safety nets. Yet, here is a group of citizens who used the technology exactly as intended—to report a life-threatening situation in real-time. They did their part. They flagged the danger. They even staged a physical protest on the highway. The numbers 46: Total passengers on board 2: Lives lost (Naeem Sheikh & Neelam Vibhute) 22: Rushed to MGM Kamothe 1: Foot amputated (20-year-old survivor) 1.5: Age of the youngest survivor

There has been a complete policy change which the government has done and these changes have led to a very good growth, especially after COVID," Ashar said.He added that both residential and commercial development in Mumbai has been outstanding. "Rates in the last 10 years have been very stable, but in the last three years, the rates have started to rise as the cost of production has gone up. Also, the cost of permissions have gone up.
