With straight three defeats in three games, new Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya hasn't hoped for this poor start in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Hardik has been subjected to not only plenty of online trolling and abuse but also faced booing at stadiums during matches. Meanwhile, Former India skipper and Delhi Capitals' Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly on April 06 came out in support of Hardik Pandya. He said that the fans behavior has not been pleasing and urged them not to boo the new MI skipper. Ganguly pointed out that it is not Hardik's fault if he has replaced the much-loved Rohit Sharma. Hardik returned to Mumbai Indians (MI) as a captain from Gujarat Titans (GT), replacing the five-time IPL winner Rohit Sharma. Since the start of the 17th edition of the IPL Mumbai Indians is at the bottom place, having lost all their matches. Earlier, Pandya also offered prayers at Somnath temple on April 05 after MI lost their last match against Rajasthan Royals by 6 wickets.

Western Railway completed the metal barrier fencing on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Railways route on March 13. The fencing has been done to curb the cattle run-over incidents. While speaking to the ANI, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that after the installation of the fence, the risk of cattle getting killed will be zero. "This is a very innovative design of fencing which has been put up from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. After the installation of this fence, cattle will not be able to come on the track and the risk of cattle getting killed will practically be zero. This innovation has been accepted by people as well. Due to this fence, the trains running between Mumbai to Ahmedabad can be taken to 160 km/hour,” said Ashwini Vaishnaw. The metal beam fencing is very robust as it consists of two W-beams. A W-beam type stands for wide flanges, which are thicker, and aid in resisting bend stress. Such fencing is used in highways & expressways, especially in accident-prone areas to protect vehicles as well as pedestrians.
