04 February,2026 12:28 PM IST | Mumbai | Aditi AlurkarMumbai woke up to cold and hazy conditions on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, with smog blanketing several parts of the city, once again highlighting concerns over deteriorating air quality that have persisted since the onset of winter. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the city is expected to witness clear weather by afternoon, with temperatures ranging between 20 degrees Celsius and 34 degrees Celsius. While temperatures have remained largely stable in recent days, air pollution levels have continued to fluctuate, raising health concerns among residents. Data from the Sameer app indicated that the overall air quality index (AQI) in Mumbai stood at 136 on Wednesday, placing it in the ‘moderate’ category. Pollution levels varied significantly across locations, with Bandra-Kurla Complex recording an AQI of 147, Borivali East 131, Byculla 154, Andheri East 130, Chembur 127, Colaba 122, and Kandivali East 149. Ghatkopar registered an AQI of 156, Kandivali East 149, Malad West 152, and Mazgaon 144, while the Mumbai airport area reported the highest reading among key areas at 208. Officials noted that PM10 remains the dominant pollutant, primarily driven by construction-related dust and vehicular emissions, contributing significantly to the city’s air quality concerns. Dense fog blankets Delhi-NCR as air quality slips to ‘very poor’, AQI at 312 Delhi-NCR witnessed dense fog on Wednesday morning, accompanied by a sharp decline in air quality across the national capital. The overall air quality index (AQI) stood at 312 at around 7 am, placing it in the ‘very poor’ category. According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the city’s AQI largely fluctuated between moderate and poor levels. Visuals from the Akshardham area earlier in the day showed a thick blanket of fog persisting across several parts of the city. As per CPCB data, the ITO area experienced dense fog with reduced visibility, recording an AQI of 334, which fell under the ‘very poor’ category. Similar conditions were observed near India Gate and Kartavya Path, where a thick layer of smog continued to linger. Several other locations in the capital also reported severely deteriorated air quality. Anand Vihar recorded an AQI of 376, Bawana 329, Ashok Vihar 366, Mundka 381, Chandni Chowk 358 and RK Puram 346, all remaining in the ‘very poor’ category. Sirifort also reported comparable conditions, with an AQI of 340. Meanwhile, a few areas showed relatively better air quality. Narela and Aya Nagar both recorded an AQI of 252, placing them in the ‘poor’ category. Sri Aurobindo Marg (221), Mandir Marg (257) and IGI Airport T3 (243) also registered ‘poor’ air quality levels, though marginally improved compared to other parts of the city. (With ANI inputs)
04 February,2026 11:57 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentGruelling treatments, emotional rollercoaster rides, life-altering uncertainty, lost time — these are but a few of the battles that cancer patients find themselves in. However, for Neha Kale, 54, and Shourya Uday Devrukhkar, 17, their determination and commitment to vanquish the emperor of maladies were bigger than all the hurdles. Case Study 1The meaning of hope Neha Kale, assistant headmistress of the English secondary section of Vidya Mandir School in Dahisar, was diagnosed with malignant mixed Mullerian carcinosarcoma in October 2021. “I bled continuously for six months. Considering my age, my doctors first thought it was because of menopause. However, it didn’t stop despite a hysterectomy and removal of my ovaries. And then the biopsy reports came back positive for cancer,” said Kale. While Kale did take a short break of three months initially for her rigorous chemotherapy sessions, she resumed teaching in no time. “It wouldn't have been possible without the support of my family, friends, colleagues, and students. Some days were terrible, and some days were good. The first week was ridiculously painful every time I returned from a chemo session. I wasn’t even able to get up for simple things. The nausea and headache felt deadly. But things got better by the third week. I had to undergo six chemotherapy sessions, each of which took place after a break lasting 21 days,” said Kale. Kale spoke of how her students supported her. “I would sweat a lot. Wearing a wig was just not convenient for me. I would tie a bandana or a scarf, but even that did not help. Seeing my discomfort, my students said, ‘Miss tumhi bald pan khup sundar dista’ [Miss, you look beautiful even if you are bald right now].’ This was major encouragement,” the Marathi teacher said. She chose not to let the disease derail her passion for education. “Even today, I experience numbness in my feet. Her colleagues say her determination was evident from the very beginning, as she balanced medical appointments with classroom responsibilities, refusing to give up on the role she loved. Case Study 2Sheer willpower Shourya Uday Devrukhkar’s courageous battle against stage 4 neuroblastoma has emerged as a powerful story of resilience and hope. Diagnosed at a young age with the aggressive form of cancer, the teenager faced a long and physically exhausting journey marked by intense chemotherapy sessions, repeated hospital visits and prolonged periods of isolation from school and friends. “She got admitted to Sathaye College in the Science stream after scoring 82 per cent in SSC. Two months later, she was detected with cancer, and her life changed in the blink of an eye,” said her father, Uday Devrukhkar. Despite the severity of the illness, doctors and family members say it was her unwavering willpower that stood out the most. "Even during the toughest phases of treatment, she remained focused. Giving up was never an option for her," said Shraddha Devrukhkar, Shourya’s mother. The teenager underwent a total of 33 proton therapy sessions and eight chemotherapy sessions every other month. Her chemotherapy concluding in December last year. “Her right side is quite weak, and she is undergoing physiotherapy,” added Uday. While the road to full recovery remains long, her progress has brought renewed hope to her family and caregivers. “A cheerful, talkative girl otherwise, today she has become a total introvert and does not wish to even speak to her friends. But she is not giving up. She never says no to medical visits. That gives us strength and hope that she will return to her original self,” said Shraddha. Though this year, too, Shourya won’t be able attend classes, Uday said she continues to hope to pursue a career in the medical field.
04 February,2026 11:09 AM IST | Mumbai | Ritika GondhalekarMumbai-Pune Expressway during the early hours of Wednesday witnessed massive traffic congestion for more than seven hours after a chemical gas tanker overturned near the Adoshi tunnel in the Khandala Ghat section on Tuesday evening. Massive traffic congestion at the expressway severely disrupts vehicular movement on one of Maharashtra’s busiest corridors. The prolonged traffic congestion left hundreds of commuters stranded for hours, triggering outrage on social media. Commuters who have been stuck in traffic since the last few hours, on social media platform X wrote, “Over 1 hour stuck in massive traffic on the Mumbai Pune Expressway. Tolls are collected efficiently. When will commuters get efficient roads?” Slamming the authorities, the commuters also asked, “We speak of a trillion dollar economy, but are we building trillion worthy infrastructure? Accountability matters. Who is addressing this?” Over 1 hour stuck in massive traffic on the Mumbai Pune Expressway.

Who is addressing this?… pic.twitter.com/2EAzvaSpXf — Sweta Jain Patil (@Anuana10) February 4, 2026 While addressing the core reason behind the congestion at the Mumbai-Pune traffic congestion, the highway authorities said that a chemical gas tanker overturned near the Adoshi tunnel. The incident occurred around 5 pm on February 3 on the Mumbai-bound lane of the expressway. Flammable gas leaks as tanker overturns near Adoshi tunnel The tanker reportedly overturned while passing through the ghat section, leading to leakage of flammable gas and raising serious safety concerns. Emergency response teams, including fire brigade personnel, highway traffic police and disaster management officials, rushed to the spot and launched operations on a war footing to contain the leak. The authorities said that efforts were underway late into the night to safely clear the tanker and restore normal traffic flow. However, they also mentioned that commuter safety remained the top priority as hazardous gas leakage posed significant risk in the hilly terrain.Further updates on traffic restoration and investigation into the cause of the accident are awaited.
04 February,2026 08:53 AM IST | Mumbai | Ranjeet JadhavResidents of GTB Nagar in Sion have raised serious concerns over the deteriorating condition of a narrow Development Plan (DP) road, allegedly damaged due to the ongoing redevelopment work on two plots, numbered 88 and 89, at CGS Colony. The road, which serves as a crucial access route to the nearby railway station and is heavily used by school-going children and residents, has suffered extensive damage from the continuous movement of heavy construction vehicles. “The developer has been transporting construction materials and machinery in large trucks via the DP road daily, resulting in deep potholes, uneven surfaces, and dust pollution, making the road unsafe for us. Even the water pipelines that were underneath have been destroyed, due to which water keeps flowing on the road, making the stretch muddy and difficult to walk on, while water is also being wasted. Also, since the road, which is used by all residents of our and neighbouring areas, has now become a dangerous route to take, people use our building premises to pass through, which also disturbs the residents of our building,” said Ramesh Chavria, a resident of the Raj Heights building, which is separated from the redevelopment site by the DP road. Residents allege that water pipelines that were underneath have been destroyed, leading to leakage. PICS/RITIKA GONDHALEKAR Parents of those studying in CBM High School, in particular, have expressed anxiety over the safety of students who are forced to navigate the damaged stretch. “Earlier, my son and his friend would go to and return from school on their own. But now, we have to ensure that a parent accompanies them, as huge vehicles carrying debris and other materials pass continuously,” said Irfan Ali Shaikh whose son studies in the school. Letters to BMC Frustrated with the situation, Chavria, on behalf of all affected residents, lodged a written complaint in April 2025 seeking details of permission provided by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to the developer to use the DP road to transport construction materials. Responding to the letter, the BMC, two months later, stated that it had not granted any such permission. “It is to inform you that this office has not given any permission to M/s. AB Builders & Developers (Trans India) about the access and exits [sic],” reads the response letter, a copy of which is in mid-day’s possession. This clarification has intensified residents’ anger, as the developer continues to use the road. “What is alarming is that even after the BMC’s clear statement, there has been no on-ground action. We even wrote a letter to the civic body in December 2025, mentioning the hardships that we were facing as the developer was illegally using this road, putting us at risk daily. However, we haven’t received a response, and neither has our problem been solved,” said Mandeep Singh, another resident. Residents have also alleged that the developer had shown that the DP Road was 9.15 metres in width, based on which they had received a letter of intent to develop the project. “Anyone can see that the width of the road is definitely not 9.15 metres, even without measuring it. It’s a small road that pedestrians have been using for the past 50 years. Even a small hatchback four-wheeler could not make its way through the entire stretch. The developer has carried out demolitions at one end of the road to make it wide enough for his vehicles to reach the site. Additionally, at the other end of the road, he has placed two iron rods to ensure that not even two-wheelers can pass through,” said Sabdar Khan, a parent. The other side Raghu Devendran, an operations manager at the site, told mid-day, “We have all the necessary permissions to use the road and also to redevelop these plots. These residents, many of whom have houses in these two plots, have been creating a nuisance since the time we began work, despite taking money from us. All our papers are with our liaison manager, Nelson Nilgiri, and we can produce them in front of any authority. Neither Nilgiri nor F North ward officials responded to calls made by mid-day before press time.
04 February,2026 07:57 AM IST | Mumbai | Ritika GondhalekarIn a landmark ruling strengthening the rights of housing societies, the Bombay High Court has held that basements and parking areas are common amenities and cannot be sold as independent units or used to claim membership in a co-operative housing society. Justice Amit Borkar, while dismissing a writ petition filed by Amanul Ekramul Ansari, upheld a state government order that had cancelled the grant of membership to a purchaser of a building basement. The court ruled that ownership of a basement or parking space, even through a registered sale deed, does not qualify a person for membership under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act. The case arose from a residential project in Taloja, Navi Mumbai, developed on a CIDCO-leased plot. After an occupation certificate was issued in January 2016 and the housing society was formed in 2019, it emerged that the developer had executed agreements, including a registered sale deed, transferring the entire basement and parking areas to a close family member. Relying on this conveyance, the purchaser sought membership of the society, arguing that the society’s failure to respond amounted to “deemed membership” under Section 22(2) of the Act. While the joint registrar initially accepted the claim, the minister for co-operation overturned the decision, holding that a basement does not fall within the statutory definition of a “flat”. Challenging this order, the petitioner approached the high court. The HC, however, dismissed the plea, observing that membership in a housing society flows only from lawful entitlement to a recognised flat as per the sanctioned building plan, and not from possession obtained through private sale transactions. The court relied on the architect’s certificate and sanctioned layout, which showed that the basement and parking areas were outside the floor space index and designated as common facilities. Such areas, the court held, cannot be converted into independent units through private agreements or sale deeds. Justice Borkar further clarified that the concept of deemed membership cannot override statutory eligibility and that common areas cannot be alienated, even through registered conveyances. The ruling also reaffirmed the Supreme Court’s decision in Nahalchand Laloochand Pvt Ltd v Panchali Co-operative Housing Society Ltd, which held that parking spaces and basements are not saleable units, said Advocate Shreeprasad Parab, expert director of the Maharashtra State Housing Federation, who appeared for the society. “Basements, parking areas, and other common facilities are common amenities, not saleable flats. The Bombay High Court has once again clarified that such areas cannot confer ownership rights or society membership,” Parab said. The judgment sends a strong message to developers and purchasers, particularly in cases where common amenities are sold after society formation, often resulting in disputes, obstruction of essential services and structural risks. “By upholding the minister’s decision, the high court has reinforced statutory protections for co-operative housing societies and ensured that planning norms prevail over private commercial arrangements. The ruling is expected to have far-reaching implications for redevelopment projects and disputes involving basements and parking areas across Maharashtra,” Parab added. What the society says “We thank the Bombay High Court and the minister for safeguarding the lawful rights of housing co-operative society members. This judgment reinforces the protection of common amenities and upholds the rights of our members,” said Prabodh Kumar, secretary, Talbiyha Paradise CHS, Taloja.

That’s snippin’ good news! A view of the green exteriors of the salon It might have taken her five years, but Sapna Bhavnani’s Mad O Wot salon is back in Khar West. “I had been looking for a space for the last year or so,” the hair stylist shared. If finding real estate in the prime suburbia of Khar and Bandra was not challenging by itself, Bhavnani was looking for something that leaned into her ideas of sustainability. Sapna Bhavnani. Pics Courtesy/MAD O WoT “Having lived amidst greenery in Kamshet since the pandemic, I wanted to find a space that was similar. In fact, I have had a few people walk in thinking it was a café,” the stylist told us. With its green exteriors, the salon is also steadfast in its idea of eco-sustainable products. “Every product in the salon is vegan-friendly, and hand-picked,” she added. Although the official launch is in March, friends and neighbours are already making their way to the green salon in the neighbourhood. “Drop by sometime,” she nudged us. Kenya believe it? File pic/Satej Shinde Two worlds are set to make an unlikely confluence at the Turkana basin in northern Kenya later this year. As part of a poet residency by Macondo Literary Festival and Literature Live!, two poets each from Kenya and India will spend a week writing poetry at the Turkana Basin Institute (TBI). “One of the mandates of the Mumbai Literature Live! was to build relationships with other literary geographies that we are not often familiar with. Writer Shubhangi Swarup told us about the Macondo Literary Festival in Kenya, which has evolved into a fertile creative ground for the region,” shared Quasar Thakore Padamsee (below), co-director of Literature Live! Padamsee gave us a glimpse of the residency, revealing that writers with an interest in ecology and nature will spend time in the company of scientists and a Kenyan poet practitioner during the stay. Those keen to participate, can log on to @litlivefest before February 20. Designs for suburban Mumbai (From left) Junctions and Geometry; a map of the open spaces of H/W ward If you thought this city needs a complete overhaul worth thousands of crores of rupees, architect Alan Abraham would disagree. The co-founder of Bombay Greenway is part of the team organising the exhibition, The Everyday City, at the Bombay Arts Society. Starting on February 12, the three-day event will build conversations on mobility, architecture, and design around maps, citizen initiatives and proposals of spaces around Bandra, Khar, and Santacruz, shared Abraham. “The idea is to push design as a solution; to show how simple solutions can improve interactions with the city. We hope to make people aware by putting it out in the public realm,” he shared. Cello, that was fun Children watch as Ria Master plays the cello. Pic Courtesy/@sparklesound When Ria Master signed on to be part of the Kidiaree showcase at the Children’s Museum in CSMVS for the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival last Sunday, she was living a childhood experience. “I used to attend every Kala Ghoda Arts Festival with my father,” shared the Marine Lines resident. Having completed the storytelling session, Masters rounded it off with a cello performance that had the kids entranced. “Children are such curious little people. They were so drawn to the size of the cello, its sound, and strings,” she shared. Aarey gets its own market share An Aarey resident with local organic produce. PIC COURTESY/SEEDS OF BANYAN Word in the woods is that Aarey Forest will soon have its own farmer’s market come March. “If busy suburbs like Bandra and Versova can have their own farmer’s markets, what’s stopping us?” a member of citizen group Seeds of Banyan told this diarist. Efforts for a Women’s Day-special pilot test on March 8 have already begun, and will spotlight produce like lal maath and spinach, alongside a range of native seeds for curious home gardeners. If Mumbaikars show up in support, the market will return as a weekly or monthly affair, we were assured.
04 February,2026 07:51 AM IST | Mumbai | Team mid-dayThe Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has stepped up its crackdown on unauthorised constructions, carrying out a demolition drive in Airoli on the instructions of NMMC chief Dr Kailas Shinde. The drive was carried out under the guidance of Additional Municipal Commissioner Dr Rahul Gethe and Deputy Commissioner (Encroachment) Dr Kailas Gaikwad, with the encroachment department acting against illegal structures raised without civic permissions in Sector 2, Airoli. Civic officials said unauthorised constructions were detected at two sites — SS-II/B-229 and SS-II/B-230 — allegedly developed by property owners Baban Babu Pawar and Premanand Prajapati, with contractor Gufran Khan and architect Omkar Nirgude, without NMMC approval. The G Division office had earlier issued notices under Section 54 of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning (MRTP) Act, 1966, directing those concerned to remove the illegal constructions. However, as the notices were ignored and work continued, the civic body proceeded with demolition. The partial demolition was carried out under the supervision of Nainesh S Badle, assistant commissioner and division officer, Airoli. Officials said a penalty of Rs 5000 per structure was imposed, with a total of Rs 10,000 recovered as punitive charges. NMMC officials warned that strict action will continue against unauthorised constructions across the city and urged citizens to obtain proper permissions before undertaking any building activity.
04 February,2026 07:47 AM IST | Mumbai | Amarjeet SinghParth Pawar is likely to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha in place of his mother Sunetra Pawar, who took oath last week as deputy chief minister of Maharashtra. However, with Parth’s name linked to the controversial Pune land deal, there is a possibility that the party may instead consider other son Jay Pawar for a role in Delhi politics. After the death of Ajit Pawar in a plane crash in Baramati on January 28, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is going through major changes. Sunetra, a Rajya Sabha member, resigned from Parliament after taking the oath as deputy chief minister, stepping into the role previously held by her husband, Ajit. According to NCP leaders, there is a strong view within the party that Parth should be sent to Delhi politics by nominating him to the Rajya Sabha seat vacated after his mother’s resignation. “The party will soon meet and formally approve Parth’s nomination to the Rajya Sabha,” a senior party functionary said on condition of anonymity. Parth Pawar is NCP’s preferred choice for nomination However, due to the controversial Pune land deal linked to Parth, the party is also considering the option of nominating Jay, Parth’s younger brother. According to sources in the NCP camp, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has already said that he would extend all possible support to the party’s decision. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Sunetra contested from Baramati but lost to Supriya Sule, the daughter of NCP founder Sharad Pawar and Ajit’s cousin. That year, the Ajit Pawar-led NCP failed to win any Lok Sabha seats except Raigad, where party state president Sunil Tatkare emerged victorious. After his wife’s defeat, Ajit, in 2024, got Sunetra nominated to the Rajya Sabha by the NCP. Parth made his electoral debut in 2019 by contesting the Lok Sabha elections. He ran as a candidate of the undivided NCP from the Maval constituency but lost to Shrirang Barne of the undivided Shiv Sena. Now, if nominated to the Rajya Sabha, Ajit’s elder son would finally enter Delhi politics, this time through an indirect route. New deputy CM to visit Delhi There is a possibility that after February 10, new Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar will visit Delhi to meet NDA leaders and may also pay courtesy visits to the president and the Vice President of India. Meanwhile, senior NCP leader Praful Patel asserted that the two NCP factions had come together only for local polls. “There were no talks of merging the two parties. All this should stop now,” Patel stated. He further clarified that Sunetra Pawar will become the national president of the party. “I am certainly not becoming the party president,” Patel said.
04 February,2026 07:44 AM IST | Mumbai | Sanjeev ShivadekarA male Sambar deer was rescued from Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) after it was found trapped in a wire snare, bleeding heavily and suffering from maggot-infested wounds. The metal wire is suspected to have been illegally laid to hunt wild animals. On February 1, the Wildlife Welfare Association (WWA) received an SOS from Adivasi residents of Barik Payari village in Malad, who reported that a Sambar deer had a wire rope entangled in its antlers. The animal was visibly injured and bleeding, prompting an urgent rescue response. Injured male Sambar deer A WWA team member said the wire appeared to have caused severe injuries. “The deer was badly hurt and bleeding, requiring immediate medical attention. We alerted the SGNP rescue team and rushed to the spot,” the member said. The rescue operation was carried out under the guidance of Dr Nikhil Bangar, Veterinary Officer (Wildlife), SGNP. However, due to poor visibility and difficult terrain, the injured animal moved deeper into the forest before it could be tranquillised, forcing the team to suspend the operation for the day. Given the animal’s critical condition, authorities planned a fresh search and rescue effort the following morning. “Teams resumed the search at dawn on February 2 and, after several hours of combing the forest, traced the injured sambar around noon. The animal was then safely tranquillised by Dr Bangar for treatment,” a WWA member said. Metal wire he was trapped in “Immediate treatment was administered on site, and the wire was carefully removed to prevent further injury”, he added. Wildlife conservationists said the incident underscores the continuing threat posed by poaching. “Such traps cause prolonged suffering and endanger not just individual animals but the entire ecosystem. Stricter monitoring and enforcement are urgently needed to curb illegal practices and ensure long-term protection of wildlife within the park,” said a wildlife expert, requesting anonymity.
04 February,2026 07:41 AM IST | Mumbai | Ranjeet JadhavAfter months of delay, restoration work on Swami Vivekanand Sarovar on Swami Vivekananda Road in Bandra West is finally set to begin, with the work order issued on February 2. According to a Letter of Acceptance accessed by mid-day, the contractual period for the project is 18 months, excluding the monsoon season. The estimated cost of the work is Rs 15.60 crore, and the contract also includes the operation and maintenance of the talao for three years. Despite repeated restoration attempts over the years, civic representatives have raised concerns about the long-term effectiveness of the work. Discarded garbage floats on the water's surface.Pics/Shadab Khan “Although restoration work is carried out every two years, it has become a redundant exercise,” said Rehbar Khan, municipal corporator from the H West ward. “Large amounts of public money are spent repeatedly, yet the talao keeps slipping back into a poor condition. The civic body should now consider awarding a long-term maintenance contract to a private agency that has a vested interest in sustaining the project. That may yield better results.” As per the scope outlined in a previous tender issued in September 2025, the project includes several key components aimed at restoring and maintaining the lake. These include rejuvenation of the talao, dewatering and desilting of the lake, repair of flooring on the existing bridge, and restoration of damaged sections of the promenade. Confirming the timeline, H West ward Assistant Commissioner Dinesh Pallewad told mid-day that work would commence shortly. “Now that the work order has been issued, the work should begin within eight to fifteen days. No further delays are expected,” he said.
