Why Mumbai Families Have No Choice But to Sleep on the Beach? | Lokmat Times

Every night, thousands of families in Mumbai leave their homes and sleep on Versova Beach. Not because they want to, but because their tin-roofed homes become unbearably hot after sunset.

At the same time, the city continues investing thousands of crores in major infrastructure projects, raising an important question about priorities. In this Deep Dive, we look at Mumbai's growing heat crisis, the challenges faced by slum families, and the bigger debate around development, climate change, and affordable housing. Do you think development should also focus on making homes safer and more livable for vulnerable families?
