Mumbai residents fear traffic chaos if flyover is demolished for coastal road project
Mumbai: Goregaon and Malad residents fear being landlocked to an extent if the Veer Savarkar flyover is demolished to make way for the Mumbai Coastal Road (North)–GMLR connector from Malad Mindspace up to Dindoshi. At Dindoshi, the piling work for the connector has already started. While the BMC has said it has no choice but to raze the bridge, local MLA Aslam Shaikh has warned that it could take commuters over an hour just to cross the junction. "The next 3–4 years will be a traffic nightmare in these areas," he said, pointing out that alongside the flyover's proposed demolition, work on the coastal road has already begun, and tunnelling for the Goregaon–Mulund Link Road (GMLR) is also set to start. TOI first reported the proposed demolition in its Aug 5 edition. Sandeep Patel, a former Goregaon corporator, pointed out that the Mrunal Tai Gore flyover—the alternate entry into the locality—gets severely congested during exhibitions at NESCO, with commuters taking up to an hour to cross it.

Dhaval Shah of the Andheri Lokhandwala Citizens Association said that the Savarkar extension is a jugular vein for commuters of that region to cross over either side of the railway line. It will lead to a manifold increase in travel time and cause a lot of inconvenience. "Breaking should be done in the last phase when it is necessary, and planning should be done to get it restored on a war footing, unlike other projects which have very long gestation times for bridge projects," he said. Former BMC opposition leader Ravi Raja pointed out that as the Savarkar bridge was built for Rs 27 crore, not only will this result in a loss of public money, but it will also cause hardships to locals in their commute. "When this bridge was constructed, it was built because it was needed—so what about the people's needs now? In such a scenario, why isn't there a collective consideration of which projects will take place in Mumbai and what difficulties they might create for the public? What has happened in the case of the Veer Savarkar Bridge is entirely wrong, and it represents a loss of the tax money paid by Mumbaikars," said Raja.

IIJS premiere 2025 leads with green goals, global connections, and industry innovation
MUMBAI: As the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) Premiere 2025 unfolds in Mumbai across the JIO World Convention Centre and NESCO, it's not just the sparkle of gems that's drawing attention—it's the green sheen of sustainability and the ambition of a billion-dollar industry stepping onto the global stage. The 41st edition of IIJS is the largest yet, with over 2,100 exhibitors and 3,600 stalls attracting 50,000+ visitors from across India and more than 80 countries. The five-day event is expected to drive ₹70,000 crore in business—underscoring the influence India's gem and jewellery sector now commands. Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, pointed to global opportunities unlocked by India's trade agreements: 'FTAs with the UAE and Australia have already delivered tangible benefits, and the recently concluded India–UK FTA is set to be a game-changer. This is a defining moment for Indian jewellers to think global and act bold.' You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai But the scale of IIJS is not just about commerce. Sustainability is a core pillar this year. Nirav Bhansali, Convener – National Exhibitions, stated, 'At IIJS, sustainability is not an afterthought—it's at the heart of our vision. From powering the show with 100% green energy to eliminating single-use materials and planting over 200,000 trees, we are redefining how global exhibitions can be both grand and green. ' Bhansali also revealed GJEPC's ambition to make IIJS completely carbon-neutral within the next decade. 'Our aim is to announce within a year a specific date by which IIJS will be completely carbon-neutral, possibly by 2030 or 2032. We are working with consultants to calculate our carbon footprint, including travel emissions.' For buyers and exhibitors alike, this year's show also expands experiential spaces and learning opportunities. The Innov8 Talks seminar series provides a platform for product launches and thought leadership sessions, targeted especially at young entrepreneurs and family jewellers seeking a less chaotic networking environment. Vice Chairman Shaunak Parikh underscored GJEPC's global push: 'At IIJS, we provide a robust platform, facilitating connections with over 15 international delegations and 3,000 international visitors. Initiatives like IJEX in Dubai have helped companies expand overseas, gaining confidence and market access.' Further adding to the glamour is the IIJS Celebration Night—an evening event that pays tribute to the legends of India's gem and jewellery industry. Also on the social calendar is the 'Jewellers for Hope' charity dinner, continuing the industry's tradition of giving back to society. The product spectrum on display at IIJS is diverse and cutting-edge: from diamond, gemstone and gold jewellery to lab-grown diamonds, couture pieces, silver artefacts, and even machinery and tech solutions for the jewellery manufacturing industry. Titan's Jewellery Division CEO, Ajoy Chawla, summed up the sector's evolving ethos: 'The entrepreneurial spirit and policy impetus have helped create and share a vibrant gem & jewellery sector. As we go forward, Indian jewellers have to leverage their cultural heritage and adopt sustainable practices. A strong regulatory framework will ensure world-class quality and customer experience.' With its scale, green ambitions, and international agenda, IIJS Premiere 2025 has become more than just a trade show—it's the pulse of an industry that's reinventing itself for the future. And if this edition is any indication, that future looks brilliant.

Aditya Gadhvi Sets Mumbai On Fire With Sold-Out Folk Fusion Concert At NESCO
Last Updated: Aditya Gadhvi rocked Mumbai with a sold-out concert at NESCO, blending Gujarati folk and modern beats. A second show was added due to massive fan demand. Gujarat's folk music powerhouse, Aditya Gadhvi, brought Mumbai to its feet with a sold-out, high-octane concert at NESCO, Goregaon, on Saturday, June 14. The show, part of his much-anticipated Live In Concert tour, was such a roaring success that organizers added a second show on Sunday, June 15, to meet overwhelming fan demand. Produced and promoted by TribeVibe Entertainment, a BookMyShow Enterprise, the concert celebrated the soul of Gujarati folk music infused with modern sonic elements. The event drew more than 12,000 fans, with tickets for the first show selling out within 48 hours of launch in April — a testament to Gadhvi's rising national fame and the enduring love for regional music traditions. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aditya Gadhvi (@adityagadhviofficial) Kicking off the evening with the deeply evocative 'Sapna Vinani Raat', Gadhvi instantly set the tone for an immersive musical journey. The momentum only grew with the thunderous beats of 'Vitthal Vitthal', 'Shivaji Nu Halardu', and 'Naagar Nandji Na Laal', transforming the entire venue into a pulsating Garba dance floor. Enhanced by snow bubbles, flames, synchronized Xylobands, and vivid stage visuals, the atmosphere turned electric. When the opening notes of 'Khalasi', the breakout folk anthem, hit the air, the crowd erupted in unison, chanting every lyric in celebration. The show reached its emotional high point with performances of 'Laadki', 'Rang Bhini', and 'Mahahetvali', leaving the audience in rapturous awe. Among the thousands cheering was Darshan Raval, Gadhvi's friend and fellow singer-songwriter, spotted singing along with the crowd. Shoven Shah, Founder & CEO of TribeVibe Entertainment, reflected on the concert's success, 'Mumbai's incredible response to Aditya Gadhvi's folk fusion spectacle reinforces what we've always believed — when exceptional artists meet passionate audiences, something magical happens. At TribeVibe, our mission is to bring live, unforgettable musical experiences to fans across India." Echoing that sentiment, Aditya Gadhvi shared, 'It was an absolute pleasure to perform in front of the vibrant Mumbai audience this weekend. I'm deeply grateful for the immense love and support this city always shows me. I promise I'll be back soon!" First Published:
