Beach after cyclone Tauktae brushed the city
Cyclone Taktae jolted the coastal areas of Kerala, Goa, Karnataka before ploughing through Maharashtra and then Gujarat left right and center. From high tides to gushing winds, the city saw the loss of lives and property alike. Mumbai reeled under its impact for three days (from May 16 to 18). After the cyclone calmed down, a new sight was seen in the city with uprooted trees on the streets and washed beaches by the seaside. The shores of Mumbai are thronged by piles of garbage. The shores look a mess after the cyclone passed the city, thanks to all the pollutants that are dumped in it over years.Â
