</p><p>Acceding to the state's request filed on December 2 to make the locals available for lawyers, the Central and Western Railways of Mumbai have granted an <strong>extended permission to judicial officials to travel by means of the local trains,</strong> without an expiration date, for now. All travellers, who have received this permission, by order, are requested to strictly adhere to all norm and practices of safe travel and hygiene, at the station and during the journey. All other citizens were appealed to comply to the protocols of social distancing and not rush to the station until an order, permitting so is issued.<br></p><p>With the imposition of the nationwide lockdown, the commute chain in Mumbai witnessed the dreadful hurdle of local shutdown. Though, these services resumed partially by mid June for essential and government employees, the general public in Mumbai have been kept away from the locals, but no for long. According to the BMC Commissioner, the <strong>suburban network may open for Mumbai's general public by December 15. </strong></p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1928181993792414" data-ad-slot="7448307427" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

Earlier, BMC had delayed their decision of opening locals trains for locals fearing the swell of a 'second wave' of coronavirus infection. </p><p>Popularly known as the lifeline of Mumbai, the local train system at present is working selectively to honour the norms and guidelines of social distancing. Despite this, the services were boosted in order to shoulder specific demands during exams and competitive entrance tests in the city. Post Diwali, the teaching and non-teaching staff, were also permitted to use the locals, authorised by authentic identity cards; students appearing for state exams have also received similar permissions, till December 10. </p>

But during winters, especially in the evening, the vibe of MD is unmatchable and we just simply love being here. You'll find people passing by, munching on <em>moongphalis</em> while gossiping with their gang, having a<em> chai-sutta</em> sesh and all of this, wrapped with winter chills and floating blankets of fog.

An absolute favourite of Lukcnowites during this season, Paya ki Nihari tastes like love and we don't care about the calories, when it comes to this.

Beautification project to begin soon at Kanpur's Fazalganj crossing
Here's what you need to know-
December 04 | 2020
In view of intense lock-ins and traffic jams at Kanpur's prominent intersections, a report, proposing constructions of flyovers at Vijayanagar, Fazal Ganj, Govindpuri Jaipuria school crossing was filed at the Madalyukta. However, the conclusive analysis of a survey reveals that there is no need to build a flyover at the Fazalganj intersection if there is one us at Vijayanagar. Conducted on the proposal of a district MP, this Mandalyukta survey has paved the way for the beautification and widening of the intersection to declutter roads. A proposal in this regard will be floated at the Mandalyukta soon.

Covid-19 recoveries supersede fresh tallies in Mumbai
Here's what you need to know-
December 04 | 2020
Mumbai's daily coronavirus statistics have brought a huge respite from the active spread of COVID-19 infection in the city. Superseding the number of 876 confirmed cases, recoveries in the city boomed close to a double 1694 cases on Thursday. Though the tallies have shot up drastically after the low-negative-plunge on Wednesday, Mumbai's healing trends guard the city from the suspected 'second wave'.

Mumbai's Taraporewala Aquarium has been making weekends fun since the 50s
Here's why we think a trip to the Taraporewala Aquarium in Mumbai is the best weekend plan
December 04 | 2020
As long as we can recall, the Taraporewala Aquarium has been jazzing up our weekends in Mumbai. Located at the Marine Drive, the aquarium is one of the oldest in the country and one of our favourite weekend 'going-out' spots. The aquarium has hosted many picnics, school outings and after exam treats for us and even today, it brings back the fond memories.
<p>Built in the 50s, the Taraporewala Aquarium has been a hub of animal and marine life lovers, wide-eyed kids and grownups looking for a trip down memory lane. With minimal entry fee and so much to look at, the aquarium will always be one of Mumbai's top tourist destinations.</p><h2>Over 4,000 varieties of fish and a 360 degree view tunnel</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-proxy-image">

</p><p>Taraporewala Aquarium is also one of the biggest and the most immersive aquariums in the country. The aquarium had been renovated in 2015 and given a whole new look, which included addition of several marine and exotic fish, as well as a full marine ecosystem and variou fun activities to partake in. <br></p><p>The marine world is colourful and vibrant, which makes it a treat for young kids who're awed by the beauty, the lights and the "little fishies". However, even as an adult, the ecosystem, the variety of fish, the sea turtles, jellyfish and the many activities hold as much charm.</p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1928181993792414" data-ad-slot="7448307427" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

</p><p>The aquarium has huge tanks complemented with LED lights which not only make the colours brighter, but the entire 'viewing' experience a whole lot more fun. Though, our favourite tank will have to be the circular jellyfish tank, because not only are the creatures gorgeous, they're fascinating to stare at. <br></p><p>The aquarium even has a 'petting pool' of sorts where people can come meet the fish and marine creatures in person! The pool is inhabited by star fish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and various turtles, which can all be touched and seen close up. Plus, who can forget the pedicure tanks, or spa for your feet, where 10 odd tanks can help you recieve the pedicure of dreams as tiny fish come and nibble the dead skin from your feet, leaving them smooth and new!</p><h2>Knock Knock</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-proxy-image">

</p><p>According to the order issued by the state of Maharashtra, preventive guidelines have been established to surveil domestic travellers at Mumbai Airport. This order states that passengers arriving from Delhi, Goa, Gujarat and Rajasthan are expected to either furnish negative COVID-19 test report, conducted by the RT-PCR method from any ICMR approved lab or undertake the test upon arrival in Mumbai. The CSMIA, in compliance to this edict, has set up dedicated test zones inside the airport to check the rising coronavirus infection in the city. <br></p><p>In the first two days of the implementation of this new directive, the Mumbai Airport Authorities had tested over 200 passengers, arriving from the mentioned source regions. A statement released by the Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) stated that none of the 200 passengers tested positive for COVID-19. </p><p><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1928181993792414" data-ad-slot="7448307427" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>

This non-inclusion was authorised after the Indian Army informed that they are following strict COVID-19 protocols for all persons arriving at their respective military units. </p><h2>Testing at Mumbai Railway Stations </h2><p>In addition to flying passengers, the civic body of Mumbai, BMC, has initiated a similar protocol for passengers at 6 major railway stations in the city following the state established guidelines. In just a couple of days of this protocol, the BMC has tested over 23,000 passengers across the six stations. According to the information, about 13 people were tested positive for the virus and were immediately isolated at Covid Care Centres in the city. </p>
