Gorai Mangrove Park is set to open on May 1st. Spanning 8 hectares, this eco-tourism marvel is being developed by the Mangrove Foundation of the Maharashtra Forest Department. The highlight? A 740-meter-long boardwalk winding through dense mangroves, designed without cutting a single tree! This one-of-a-kind mangrove park is not just an attraction—it’s an educational and environmental initiative aimed at raising awareness about mangrove conservation. Here’s everything you need to know. 

The Maharashtra government has announced a complete toll waiver for light motor vehicles at all five toll booths in Mumbai. The toll waiver will take effect from midnight on Monday, providing relief to motorists as they enter the city. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde made the announcement during a Cabinet meeting, describing the move as a "masterstroke" ahead of the upcoming Assembly polls. The toll waiver is expected to provide significant relief to commuters traveling in and out of Mumbai, particularly with Diwali approaching. Travelers have often complained about long waiting times at these toll booths, which include Dahisar, LBS Road-Mulund, Eastern Express Highway-Mulund, Airoli Creek Bridge, and Vashi. Light motor vehicles, such as cars, jeeps, vans, auto-rickshaws, taxis, delivery vans, and small trucks, make up about 80&#37 of the more than six lakh vehicles that cross Mumbai daily. This initiative aims to save time, reduce fuel consumption, and lower pollution levels in the city.
