The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to outsource surveillance and security at Mumbai's historic Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Byculla. The move will ensure 24x7 monitoring of exhibits, routine patrols and enhanced protection against theft, trespassing and unauthorised access, despite no security breaches being reported.

More than 120 residents across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region have submitted written complaints alleging forced smart meter installations, inflated electricity bills and notices from power companies. The complaints were collected during a citizen-led awareness campaign held across nine locations in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Virar.
