The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation of Mumbai in its July 7 order had restricted entry to the city’s beaches at Juhu and Girgaum as a precautionary measure amid heavy rainfall in the past two weeks. Now, that the Indian Meteorological Department has predicted a sunny weather in the city during the weekend, beaches are now open for Mumbaikars to enjoy the monsoon seaside charm.
