   Making Waves Around the World  🌊 

• Car washes shut down in Mumbai to tackle water shortage: Due to the worsening water shortage, the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has ordered the immediate closure of all vehicle washing service centers in the city of Mumbai, India, until June 10. According to a report by News 18 in Mumbai, water levels in the city’s reservoirs have continued to decline rapidly due to the intense summer heat and lack of rainfall. The washing of all types of vehicles – two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, and heavy vehicles – is strictly prohibited during this period. Any violation of the order will invite “strict punitive action,” including fines against the service centers involved.
