The increased vigil at city seashores aims to preemptively address potential risks and enhance security measures in the coastal areas, sources said

Mumbai Police officials were seen deployed at strategic points along the coastline including Bandstand in Bandra west

The decision to reinforce coastal surveillance comes as a proactive response to the natural phenomenon of high tides, which can pose challenges in terms of safety and security, sources added

Authorities are keen on preventing any untoward incidents and have urged citizens to exercise caution and adhere to safety guidelines during these periods

The intensified vigilance is not only focused on potential water-related incidents but also aims to deter any unlawful activities along the coastline

Mumbai, being a coastal city, witnesses fluctuations in tide levels, particularly during certain seasons
