As relentless July monsoon rains eased on Thursday, the Arabian Sea returned to Mumbai what the city had discarded. Dadar Beach was left covered in plastic waste and urban debris washed ashore during the high tide, highlighting the environmental impact of marine pollution and the challenges of waste management. Here are some visuals from the site, captured by mid-day.com lensman ATUL KAMBLE

Mumbai Police and the associated security forces in the city conducted a grand full-dress rehearsal at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Park in Dadar on Wednesday, ahead of the 68th Maharashtra Day celebrations. The State Reserve Police Force (SRPF), Mumbai Traffic Police, and Fire Brigade contingents showcased impeccable marching formations. The main event will be held on Friday, May 1 at Shivaji Park, Mumbai. PICS/ATUL KAMBLE
