Tarballs were washed ashore at Mumbai's Chowpatty in the Girgaon area on Tuesday. Marine enthusiast Pradip Patade captured pictures and videos of them.

“Tarballs usually wash ashore due to onshore winds, and it is an annual occurrence. Shaunak Modi, who has been documenting oil spills and tarballs for several years, said they are also present at Juhu Beach,” Patade said.
