After a scorching start to the week, with temperatures touching 40 degrees in Mumbai, the city is expected to get slight relief from Wednesday as the mercury is likely to dip, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Weather officials said the decline in temperature will be gradual, offering some respite after the unusually intense early-March heat. mid-day contacted Sushma Nair, scientist at IMD Mumbai, to seek clarity on some burning questions. Why has Mumbai’s temperature touched 40 degree C so early in the season?There is an anticyclonic circulation over Gujarat and its neighbourhood, bringing dry easterlies over the region. This stalls the sea breeze, which generally moderates the temperatures of coastal cities. Therefore, the maximum temperature rises. Yesterday [Monday], the temperature in Santacruz was 6 degree C above normal. There is no western disturbance or any other system affecting the temperature, and it is only the effect of the anticyclonic circulation. What is the forecast for Mumbai over the next few days?The effect of the anticyclone will diminish from today [Wednesday], and the maximum temperature is expected to fall over North Konkan. On Tuesday, we issued orange alerts for Palghar, Mumbai, and Thane. For Wednesday, a yellow alert has been issued for North Konkan, warning of hot and humid conditions. Does this qualify as a heatwave according to the IMD criteria for coastal cities?Yes. The maximum temperature should be 37 degree C or more, and its departures from normal should be more than 4.5 degree C. Around 4.5 degree C to 6.4 degree C departures from normal qualify for a heatwave. Any departures from 6.5 degree C and above qualify to be termed a severe heatwave.Are such high March temperatures becoming more frequent in Mumbai?Last year, too, a severe heatwave was recorded in the first week of March. This is transition season, so March generally records high temperatures. Stay hydrated and avoid long exposure to the sun. Heat can prove deadly ‘With temperatures rising above 38 degree C and high humidity in Mumbai, we commonly see cases of dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, heatstroke, low blood pressure, and worsening of pre-existing heart or kidney conditions. The combination of heat and humidity makes it harder for the body to cool itself through sweating, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses’ - Dr Rahul Gupta, intervention cardiologist, Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai
11 March,2026 09:08 AM IST | Mumbai | Poonam AhujaAMID reports that the BMC’s International Baccalaureate (IB) school in Vile Parle will be affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), the civic body plans to switch the affiliation of its Matunga-based Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) school to a national board. According to official sources, the school authorities held a meeting with parents on this matter last week, and a large number of them consented to the change in board affiliation. At the moment, MPS LK Waghji Cambridge School has a total of 245 students on its rolls, from senior kindergarten to nursery and from Std I to Std V. Affiliation costs and teacher availability happen to be the key concerns behind the transition. The cost of affiliation with international boards runs into lakhs while that of central boards, such as the CBSE, is much lower. Additionally, timely training of existing teachers and ensuring they are well-versed in the curriculum were other challenges. Proposals are being sent to the education committee, after which a decision will be made.

11 March,2026 09:02 AM IST | Mumbai | Hemal AsharWestern Railway on Monday began fencing a 150-metre stretch along the railway tracks near Garib Nagar in Bandra East to prevent garbage dumping and trespassing on the tracks. According to railway officials, the fencing work in Bandra involves installing 3-metre-high railings along the stretch to improve safety and protect operational railway lines. A Western Railway official said, “As of March 9, 37 route metre fencing have been completed. Out of the proposed 50 foundations, 48 have been prepared, 33 have been cast, and 90 columns have been erected.” The Garib Nagar area in Bandra East has long been considered a sensitive zone due to the presence of dense slum settlements close to the railway tracks. Authorities have been attempting to prevent the expansion of multi-storey slums along the working lines, citing serious public safety concerns. The railway line passing through the area connects Bandra Terminus with the southern end and the main line. The route runs through a thick cluster of slums on both sides, making it vulnerable to trespassing and waste dumping. As per the official, the line is primarily used for transferring locomotives and as a spare operational route to avoid suburban traffic congestion during rush hours. Due to safety risks and encroachment concerns, several entry and exit points to Bandra Terminus have also been curtailed in the past. Railway authorities said the fencing project is part of ongoing efforts to secure the tracks and ensure safe railway operations in the area. Western Railway gets first ‘readymade’ 15-car local train in Mumbai The new ‘readymade’ 15-car train has arrived in Mumbai on Western Railway (WR) from the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai. Once commissioned, the new stock will allow WR to convert around 10-12 existing 12-car services into 15-car formations, significantly increasing peak-hour carrying capacity on crowded routes. A 15-car train carries roughly 25 per cent more passengers than a 12-car rake, and railway officials believe the conversion will help distribute commuter loads more evenly across platforms and coaches. Most of the augmentation is expected in the WR suburban sections, where several platforms already support 15-coach operations. Local trains on WR Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) local trains have been operating in Mumbai in units of three. Three coaches form one unit. The present 12-car train has four such units, manufactured in units by ICF and dispatched to Mumbai and other cities as 12-car trains as per requirements.

11 March,2026 08:40 AM IST | Mumbai | Eeshanpriya MSConcerns over the possibility of Central Park becoming a restricted or semi-private space were voiced in the Legislative Council on Tuesday, following which the government said it would make a presentation on the project to all members concerned. The iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai is set to be redeveloped into a sprawling 295-acre urban green space to be known as Central Park, under an ambitious makeover plan that will introduce entertainment zones and an underground sports complex. Envisioned as the largest central park in an Indian city, the project will draw about 125 acres from the existing racecourse, while the remaining 170 acres will come from land reclaimed during the Coastal Road project. Concern over the proposal was not limited to the Opposition; the ruling BJP also raised questions about the development plans. Shiv Sena (UBT) MLCs Sachin Ahir and Anil Parab, BJP MLC Pravin Darekar, and Congress MLC Satej ‘Bunty’ Patil expressed apprehension that the project could deprive Mumbai residents of an important public space. What’s the fear? >> Once the park is developed, entry will be restricted to a few>> Helipad on site will be kept private and with restricted usage>> Park area will be concreted Some demands All members concerned should be given a detailed presentation of the project.The government should ensure that the public is allowed to use this place and given access.Architects and experts who have raised red flags should be taken into confidence before going ahead with the proposed development of the park. Deputy chairperson’s directives Deputy Chairperson of the Legislative Council Neelam Gorhe directed the government to take note of the concerns raised by members and address them accordingly. Sarcastic swipe During the discussion, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab, referring to ruling party MLC Darekar expressing concerns about the plan, stated that even if the state government allayed the fears of its ally, it would be enough for the Opposition. Presentation plan Replying to the queries and concerns on behalf of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who also holds the urban development portfolio, minister Uday Samant assured members that even if a helipad is constructed by a private industrialist, it would remain accessible to the BMC, government and public. Samant added, “A presentation on the project will be made to Mumbai’s MLAs and MLCs, and members who raised the issue in the House will also be invited for the briefing.” 295 acresArea of Central Park

11 March,2026 08:23 AM IST | Mumbai | Team mid-dayWhile shortage of commercial LPG has halted gas crematoriums in Pune, multiple crematoriums in Mumbai report no such halts as of Monday, as gas cremation in Mumbai mostly functions on PNG (piped natural gas) instead of LPG (liquid petroleum gas). PNG supply has seen no recent shortages due to the West Asia unrest yet, but active speculations about probable curtailments from the public remains valid, as India relies on imports for meeting a significant percentage of natural gas. mid-day visited Santacruz ECO Moksh and Chakala crematoriums to enquire about the status of their gas cremation services. Both crematoriums are co-operated by the BMC and trusts, offering wood and gas cremations free of cost. Their PNG gas supplier is Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL). Official Speak MGL has stated that it receives 100 per cent of gas required to meet domestic household supplies from domestically. In view of the prevailing geopolitical developments affecting global energy markets, there have been speculations regarding possible curtailment of gas supplies by MGL to its customers. Currently, no reduction in gas availability is being faced. MGL continues to maintain usual CNG and PNG supplies across its operational areas. Voice Shambhugiri Goswami, general secretary, Chakala cremation ground‘Services here are fully operational and there has been no shortage in the gas supply. If we were to experience such a situation, we are ready with our electric cremation machines as an alternative to gas cremation besides the traditional wood.

11 March,2026 08:10 AM IST | Mumbai | Sarthak MehtaA partially covered foot-deep hole at the end of Hill Road that terminates at SV Road in Bandra West has been causing injuries to residents, leading to bruises and fractures. The hole was formed when work on a divider was ongoing, and three-fourths of the cavity is covered by a metal sheet. Septuagenarian’s unfortunate fall Shobha Tendulkar’s injuries. PIC/By Special Arrangement Shobha Tendulkar, 79, who lives in a building near the hole, lost her footing while crossing the road at 11.30 am on Monday, falling into the cavity. Karuna Desai, Tendulkar’s niece, told mid-day, “I was at home when suddenly a little kid ran up and told me that Aaji had fallen. When I rushed downstairs, I saw her stuck in the hole. I went up to her, held her hands, and started pulling her out.” Injuries sustained by Bandra West resident Shobha Tendulkar after falling in hole at eastern end of Hill Road. PIC/By Special Arrangement Rescuer’s injuries While saving Tendulkar, Desai ended up injuring herself. “The metal sheet is so uneven that when a vehicle passed by, I lost my balance and fell, resulting in swelling in my right leg and bruises. I went to the doctor and got a few injections and medicines, which have helped me, but Aaji was very badly hurt.” (From left) Poonam Choudhary and Karuna Desai, who reside in the same building on Hill Road as Shobha Tendulkar.

11 March,2026 08:06 AM IST | Mumbai | Madhulika Ram KavatturThe ripple effects of the Iran-Israel conflict are now being felt in Mumbai’s kitchens, where thousands of restaurants and small eateries depend on commercial LPG cylinders for daily cooking. With supply tightening and refill timelines stretching, several establishments have trimmed menus, shut online deliveries or temporarily closed operations. Industry groups warn that if the shortage continues, the disruption could affect not only the hospitality sector but also the city’s large migrant workforce that depends on affordable hotel meals. Why the shortage? Global trigger>> Iran-Israel war disrupting energy flows>> Governments prioritising household LPG supply>> Commercial supply tightening for businesses Hospitality industry warns The Hotel Owners’ Association has submitted a memorandum to Food and Civil Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal, warning that prolonged shortages could disrupt thousands of small businesses and affect migrant workers. Mumbai’s kitchen fuel reality Key numbers What it meansThousands Hotels in Mumbai dependent on LPG cylinders60 percent Hotels that could shut if shortage persists1 cylinder/month Supply some vendors say they now receive3 cylinders/day Gas needed by mid-sized restaurants Pipeline gas has expanded across Mumbai, but many smaller hotels and roadside eateries still rely heavily on commercial cylinders. Commercial LPG cylinders stacked inside a Mumbai restaurant kitchen. Voices from the ground Kamlakar Shenoy, Owner, Sadguru Restaurant‘Situation is too grim for us. I may have to shut my hotel from tomorrow as we don’t have the storage capacity bigger hotels have. If this continues, nearly 60 per cent of Mumbai hotels may shut.’ Sumedh Sawant, Manager, Chaitanya Hotel‘We have shut online deliveries and shortened the menu. If the situation doesn’t improve in two days, we may have to shut the hotel as well.’ Neelima Kastur, Home-based chapati business‘They now give just one cylinder a month. My only source of income is chapati business. Earlier, we could book a cylinder every week. I do not know how we will survive now.’ Mamta Todankar, Vada pav stall owner‘My cylinder will last only three days. If I don’t get another, we will have no money for food or rent.’ Kaustubh Tambe, Owner, Aaram Vada Pav‘We shifted to induction cooking about a year and a half ago. It reduced heat and noise and saves around 8-10 per cent in costs compared to cylinders.’ Aditi Limaye, Owner, Gypsy, Home Chef and Nebula‘While we have already switched to induction at Home Chef, it isn’t possible at Gypsy because the restaurant is in a pagadi building where getting a pipeline connection has been a problem for years. Switching to induction now is also difficult as the cost of equipment has gone up significantly.’
11 March,2026 08:04 AM IST | Mumbai | Ritika GondhalekarMumbai’s hospitality sector has flagged growing concerns over access to commercial LPG cylinders, with the Indian Hotel & Restaurant Association (AHAR) warning the shortage has already forced some establishments to temporarily shut operations. ‘Protecting household supply’ Atul R Shah, Executive VP, All India LPG Distributors Federation; Executive President All India Bharatgas Distributors Association “India has about three months of LPG supply earmarked for households. If diverted for commercial use, that could be exhausted in 15 days. The priority is safeguarding supply for 1.4 billion people.” A review team from Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum is evaluating urgent requests from hospitals and other critical services. Restaurants flag operational risks Suraj Shetty Restaurateur, Mahesh Lunch Home, Banana Leaf Restaurateurs say the shortage could affect daily kitchen operations. “Restaurants depend on a consistent and reliable supply of commercial cylinders. The shortage is creating operational challenges across the hospitality sector.” AHAR has also alleged that roadside vendors are using domestic LPG cylinders meant strictly for households, creating what it calls an uneven playing field. Restaurants preparing for disruption Ashesh Sajnani, founder of Le Cafe and Via Bombay Says his Goa hotel, The Passport Hotel, has already installed induction units as a precaution.Some kitchens have already begun contingency measures:>> Removing fuel-intensive dishes>> Cutting slow-cooked menu items>> Switching to induction cooktops>> Considering coal tandoors again No gas turbulence With reports of LPG shortages emerging from cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai, the government on Tuesday invoked the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, to ensure a stable and uninterrupted supply of cooking gas. Airline food services in India also fall under the ambit of the Act, given their dependence on LPG and other regulated supplies for large-scale meal production. The sector is led by major players such as Taj SATS Air Catering Limited, Ambassador’s Sky Chef, Sky-gourmet Catering Private Limited and Oberoi Flight Services, and industry sources indicate that operations are expected to remain unaffected by the current shortage. Panic or real shortage? Abhayraj Singh Kohli Partner, Pritam da Dhaba, The Roll Company; Founder, Grandmama’s Cafe, MRP, TORII, and Nakhra Some industry players say the fears may be driven partly by speculation. “It’s not just a supply crunch — it’s panic engineered by black marketers trying to cash in. This LPG crisis has exposed how fragile our fossil-fuel dependence really is. The restaurant industry in Mumbai must now seriously explore electric induction and other clean alternatives before the next shock hits,” Kohli said. Unauthorised booking in Bengaluru Madhu Menon, Amid the LPG shortage, Bengaluru resident alleged unauthorised bookings on his Indane gas account prevented him from ordering a cylinder. “When I tried booking, it showed a delivery had already been made on February 26,” Menon told mid-day. After he raised the issue on X, the company contacted him and delivered a cylinder, with Menon claiming “multiple unknown phone numbers were linked to my account” and that bookings had been made “directly through delivery drivers without my knowledge.” In his update tweet, Menon said, “The agency just delivered a gas cylinder to my door, and the delivery guy told me sir wanted to say it was ‘by mistake’ and it ‘won’t happen again’. Also wanted me to give some letter to them and delete my tweet. I said no to both.” LPG pressure on restaurants Key numbers What they meansRs 1835 Cost of one commercial LPG cylinder21 days Typical refill cycle for restaurants25 days New official minimum waiting period 3 months Domestic LPG buffer stock Restaurants say the extended refill timeline is creating operational stress for kitchens that rely on a steady supply of commercial cylinders for daily cooking.
