14 December,2025 07:27 AM IST | Mumbai | Ritika GondhalekarAt Pench Tiger Reserve (PTR), Maharashtra, a long wait ended on a sweet note when vultures previously released into the wild returned to guide their friends, captive-bred birds, helping them learn their first lessons in survival including taking their maiden flight in the wild. The Maharashtra Forest Department, in collaboration with the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), has been working to release the captive bred vultures in the wild. These vultures were brought from Pinjore in Haryana on April 24, 2025, and trained them to feed on carcasses. The vultures were then housed in the pre-release aviary, specially constructed in Pench for releasing them in the wild. The aviary helped them to acclaimatise to local environmental conditions. December 11 (Thursday) marked an important milestone in vulture conservation with the initiation of a soft release of critically endangered vultures under the ongoing Vulture recovery programme. PTR and BNHS had earlier released 10 Long billed Vultures in August 2024. Two birds from this released lot, have been spotted in PTR of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The 14 birds released on the day were exclusively vultures. Kishor Rithe, Director of BNHS, said, “The Wild vultures were also observed soaring and perching around the aviary during the release, further indicating habitat suitability and reinforcing the effectiveness of the release strategy.”
14 December,2025 07:22 AM IST | Mumbai | A CorrespondentThe long-awaited burn care ward at KEM Hospital was inaugurated on Saturday.

14 December,2025 07:19 AM IST | Mumbai | Ritika GondhalekarIn a major relief for residents of Juhu (DN Nagar) and Dahisar, the Maharashtra government has decided to relocate the high-power radar stations in these areas. For years, these radars have blocked redevelopment and new construction, but the move is expected to remove long-standing hurdles and allow old, dilapidated buildings to be redeveloped. On December 10, mid-day reported that about 15,000 residents from nearly 200 Juhu housing societies plan to boycott the upcoming BMC elections. These societies lie within 500 metres of an Army wireless station, where redevelopment is banned due to security rules. Both Dahisar and Juhu currently have high intensity radar centres. Due to safety restrictions around these radar installations, construction of tall buildings in nearby areas is not allowed. This has made redevelopment of old buildings in these localities almost impossible. On Friday, during the ongoing winter session of the state legislature in Nagpur, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced the state government plans to shift the radar centres to alternate and suitable locations. The Maharashtra government informed the members of the legislature that it has suggested an alternative site for shifting the Juhu radar. “The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has been invited to inspect this proposed location. Once AAI completes its technical study and approves the site, the formal approval process for shifting the Juhu radar will begin,” Fadnavis claimed. Mumbai BJP unit chief Ameet Satam welcomed the move as it would pave the way for redevelopment of several old and dilapidated buildings in these areas. Meanwhile, the CM further informed that the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the AAI have approved the plan to shift the Dahisar radar to Gorai. In fact, the Maharashtra government has assured the central government that it will pay for the relocation and provide alternative land. “Also, 50 per cent of AAI’s land in Dahisar will be kept aside for public gardens,” Fadnavis added. “The relocation of the radar centres will pave the way for the redevelopment,” Fadnavis concluded. Govt announces ‘housing for all’ policy The Maharashtra government announced a “Housing for All” policy to restart stalled redevelopment projects in Mumbai, especially in restricted areas like funnel zones, Juhu military transmission station, Kandarpada, Malad COD area, and other protected lands. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “The policy aims to allow stalled redevelopment in these zones.” Under this scheme, EWS families will get up to 300 sq ft homes free of cost, while LIG families will receive redeveloped flats up to 600 sq ft without any charges. Developers will be given incentive FSI to make projects viable.
14 December,2025 07:03 AM IST | Mumbai | Sanjeev ShivadekarOf all the pretty horses A couple makes sure to take a selfie to document their horse ride at Dadar Chowpatty. Of Kasavu meeting Louboutin Her installation, Sathya, at the Paris exhibit Mumbai-based conceptual artist Lakshmi Madhavan is taking her textile practice based on the kasavu handloom heritage to new international heights, with her signature weaves on exhibit in a Paris showcase conceived by Christian Louboutin, no less. The historic exhibition brings Indian and French artists and designers into dialogue through textiles, and is on at the Galerie des Gobelins et Mobilier National till January 4, 2026. Lakshmi Madhavan with one of her artworks One of two works on display is an installation, Sathya, in which Madhavan wraps loom shuttles with thread and hair — hers and her son’s — in a commentary on weavers’ lineage and generational memory. The second piece, a kasavu panel titled Hanging by a Thread II, explores the weave from Kerala as a charged material shaped by caste, gender, and labour. “My practice is rooted in kasavu as both material and method—a way of thinking through labour, lineage, and belonging. Working in long-term collaboration with the Balaramapuram weaving community, I seek to make visible the bodies, gestures, and inherited knowledge that sustain this cloth but are often erased once it enters public life,” she says. Three of Madhavan’s weaves have also been acquitted by the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, and are on display in the museum’s first-ever permanent Kerala section. She also has a showcase on (Looming Bodies) at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale till March 31, 2026. Santa spotted in Bandra (W) The shiny letter box Ho Ho Ho! ‘Tis the season to be jolly.

A resident informed, “this is installed at the DeLima Apartments on St Andrews Road at Bandra (W) right till December 24.” The circular/letter alongside the post box stated. “This is jolly old Santa Claus. Guess what? I’ve found the PERFECT spot for my special red-and-gold Letter Box again this year! Come skipping, hopping, or dancing over to drop your beautiful letters straight to me! Write your wishes, dreams, and doodles, fold them with love, and pop them in my box!” An interesting aspect is a drum next to the letter box where everyone is encouraged to drop in their pre-loved toys and clothes. Death of a cricketer revisited Terry O’Connell and the late Martin Bedkober. Pic Courtesy/ cricket.com.au For years, cricket lovers, especially those from Australia, have known what happened to grade cricketer Martin Bedkober without actually hearing the story of his death in great detail. On December 13, 1975, Sydney’s Bedkober, representing Toombul club in Brisbane was struck on his heart. No amount of on-ground rescue work could save Bedkober’s life. In 2014, Australian batsman Phil Hughes lost his life after being struck below his left ear from a delivery bowled by Sean Abbott. A news report in the January 1976 issue of the Australian Cricket magazine Now, 50 years on, cricket.com.au has a large feature on that incident and interviewed the man who bowled that fatal ball to Bedkober — Terry O’Connell, 75.Bedkober was a flat mate of Australian cricket stars Jeff Thomson and Ian Davis. Thomson recalled being shattered when he received the of his friend’s death during the December 12-16 Perth Test against the West Indies. Bedkober’s girlfriend was at the club match and so were O’Connell’s parents. “The thing that haunts me, is that… this was a trap that we set … I deliberately bowled the one short to hit him. I meant to hit him, but I didn’t want to do that damage. It’s an accident, I know. But deep in my mind, I deliberately did it,” O’Connell is quoted as saying. He’s lived with this guilt for 50 years and his torture will probably never end. Some sad life this. Women with colours Art by Moon Sutradhar. Pic Courtesy/Zubaan Books In 2006, Zubaan initiated Poster Women, a project, conceptualised to visually map the history of the women’s movement. They worked closely with over 160 organisations and individuals to source 1100+ posters which today form an open archive. In 2026, to mark the 20th anniversary of the Poster Women collection, Zubaan in collaborating with Takshila Education Society to hosted multiple exhibitions at Arthshila Santiniketan, Goa, and Ahmedabad. Bidisha Mahanta, Executive Director at Zubaan, says, “The poster collection contains 1200+ posters from the 1970s onwards, documenting women’s resistance against violence, domestic abuse, loss of land, struggle for reproductive rights and so much more. In the 40 submissions encompassing around 60-70 posters, we also see the recurring themes of invisibilised labour, increasing (and digital/online forms of) violence against women, queer, trans folks, issues of communalism, etc. In some ways, we have moved forward in visibilising marginalised communities but in so many ways, we are still where we started, albeit with more layers added to it.”
