Mumbai: Only in recent years are Mumbai's beaches, which have always looked like neglected backyards, are gradually being given a facelift and this time it is the Dadar-Mahim shoreline that could see some happy changes in the future.

Now ridden with a layer of plastic bags and garbage, especially visible at low tide, and the sewage lines emptying out the slush here, the 4.5 km Dadar-Prabhadevi-Mahim coast truly needs a makeover. What this narrow seafront will undergo is "enrichment through beach nourishment technology to create a new beach," says R.A. Rajeev, Additional Municipal Commissioner, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
