A biker riding a Honda Activa was spotted dangerously carrying four additional passengers near Sherly Rajan Road around 9 pm on 15th July. One of the individuals was even seen seated on the shoulders of the last pillion, posing a serious risk to both the riders and other motorists on the road.

We urge the Mumbai Police to take immediate note of this violation and enforce strict action to prevent such potentially fatal occurrences on city roads.

While Bandra railway station dons a festive look for the vibrant Station Mahotsav launched on July 5, Western Railway authorities have turned their focus to a persistent problem: spitting and littering. A recent inspection by senior officials during the celebrations revealed fresh paan stains on newly cleaned heritage walls, reviving long-standing concerns over public hygiene at the 19th-century Grade I heritage site.

In response, WR has introduced stricter enforcement measures. Ticket checkers will now issue ₹500 fines—up from ₹200 earlier—to offenders, with support from the Railway Protection Force (RPF). Between April 2024 and January 2025 alone, over 2,300 violations were recorded, collecting nearly ₹6 lakh in fines.

The crackdown was reinforced at the Divisional Railway Users Consultative Committee (DRUCC) meeting on July 10, where passengers raised concerns about cleanliness, loitering, and train punctuality. Officials also confirmed plans to install more CCTVs in trains to deter such behaviour.

Divisional Railway Manager Pankaj Singh, after a personal inspection, expressed dissatisfaction with station upkeep, pulling up contractors for inadequate cleaning. With reduced cleaning staff and rising commuter negligence, WR is now prioritizing on-ground enforcement to restore and preserve the station’s historic charm.

A massive hollow trunk tree came crashing down on 12th July around 10 pm, striking an auto-rickshaw passing by and a stationary Mercedes outside Eddies cafe on 16th Road, Bandra. The impact was so severe that the middle portion of the rickshaw was completely smashed, yet miraculously, the driver emerged unscathed. Thankfully, there were no passengers in the rickshaw at the time.

On Saturday morning, a poignant prayer service was held at St. Peter's Church in Bandra to honor the memories of the 12 Air India crew members who tragically lost their lives in the crash of flight AI 171 on June 12 in Ahmedabad. Nearly 500 attendees, including both current and former employees, gathered to pay their respects during a heartfelt one-and-a-half-hour ceremony led by Father Ivan Dsouza. The event featured meaningful tributes and prayers dedicated to each individual lost that day.

Captain Kevin Paul represented the pilot community, emphasizing the importance of communal grief and support for affected families. Neil Pais, who organized the service as a former cabin crew member, described it as both solemn and deeply touching, with past and present Air Indians coming together to remember their colleagues collectively.

With music resonating through the church—a choir performing hymns like 'Just a closer walk with thee'—the ceremony not only paid tribute but also reinforced bonds across time within the airline family. The shared memory evokes reflections on duty, camaraderie, and enduring legacies faced by those who serve in aviation's demanding world.
