A WhatsApp message from residents prompted the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to launch a beach clean-up at Culvem in Gorai after monsoon rains and high tide washed large quantities of marine litter onto the rocky shoreline. The drive was carried out with support from the local corporator after the issue was raised by members of the Gorai

The vessel, identified as MT Al Jafzia, is stuck nearly one kilometre away from the coastline. Authorities confirmed that no crew members or other people were present on board the ship when it was inspected
