Despite massive campaigns, clean-up drives, awareness camps, and several warnings, Mumbaikars have failed to protect their beaches, they continue to throw garbage in the sea, and the overcrowded sea can't help but return it.

A day after the post gained traction, the official account of Ward-GN of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation shared a follow-up on Mumbaimatterz’s post. It showed how concerned authorities conducted a clean-up drive and cleared the dirt that was gathered on the famous beach. They shared before and after images of the Mahim beach.
