Mumbai: Mumbai woke up to bright, clear skies on Tuesday morning after moderate rainfall the previous evening brought much-needed relief from both heat and pollution. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted partly cloudy conditions throughout the day, with possibilities of light to moderate showers or isolated thunderstorms in some areas.

According to IMD’s latest weather update, temperatures are expected to stay pleasant, with a maximum of around 32°C and a minimum near 24°C. The light showers have not only cooled the city but also helped in significantly improving its deteriorating air quality. Over the past few weeks, stagnant air and rising pollution had led to hazy skies and poor visibility across Mumbai.

Data from AQI.in on Tuesday morning showed a remarkable improvement in air quality levels. Mumbai’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 64, categorised as moderate, which deteriorated slightly from the good quality air recorded over the past few days. Residents across several areas reported fresher air and reduced smog.

Among the city’s various monitoring locations, Chembur registered the highest AQI at 113, placing it in the poor category. However, most other areas reflected the overall improvement. Jogeshwari recorded an AQI of 80, Mankhurd 77, and both Malad West and Wadala Truck Terminal stood at 72, all within the moderate range.

Cleaner air was observed in several localities, including Kurla and Kandivali East (both at 52), Sion (55), Bandra East (57) and Colaba (57), showing a citywide recovery in air quality.

According to AQI.in’s classification system, an index reading between 0 and 50 is considered “Good,” 51–100 “Moderate,” 101–150 “Poor,” 151–200 “Unhealthy,” and values above 200 fall into the “Severe” or “Hazardous” category.

Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 3: In a swift action following the viral video of a woman tourist being harassed by local taxi drivers in Munnar, the Kerala Police, on Monday, have suspended two officials and taken two taxi drivers — identified as Vinayakan and Vijayakumar — into custody.

The case has sparked widespread outrage on social media, prompting the state government to promise corrective steps to ensure tourist safety in the hill station.

The video, originally posted by Janvi, a Mumbai-based assistant professor, showed a group of taxi drivers confronting and intimidating her and her friends for booking an online cab instead of a local taxi near the KSRTC bus stand in Munnar on October 30.

The drivers, reportedly opposed to app-based taxi services, allegedly warned the tourists that they would not be allowed to travel unless they hired local taxis.

Janvi alleged that when she approached the police for help, officers failed to act, echoing the stance of the taxi union.

“We were forced to take another vehicle and eventually cut short our trip out of fear,” she said in the video, which has since been deleted but had already gone viral.

Following the public outcry, the Munnar police registered a suo motu case under Sections 126(2), 351(2), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, relating to wrongful restraint and criminal intimidation.

The FIR did not initially name any accused, but police have since identified three taxi drivers, two of whom are in custody, with the third expected to be taken into custody soon.

State Tourism Minister P.A. Mohammed Riyas called the incident “unfortunate” and said it “should never have happened,” adding that steps will be taken to strengthen police vigilance and prevent the harassment of tourists in the future.

The incident has reignited debate over the monopoly of local taxi unions in tourist destinations and the challenges faced by app-based cab services in Kerala.
