A construction site on Juhu Tara Road has allegedly been discharging muddy water and sludge directly onto Juhu beach and into the sea for several days, raising concerns about marine pollution and potential damage to coastal ecosystems.

Shaunak Modi, marine ecologist, director of the Coastal Conservation Foundation and founder of Marine Life of Mumbai, flagged the issue in a post on X on October 24, warning that the discharge could harm marine organisms and disrupt the coastal ecosystem.
