Maha Tapasvi Acharya Shri Mahashraman Ji Park Transforms Marol into a 3.5-Acre Green Miracle
The Maha Tapasvi Acharya Shri Mahashraman Ji Park in Marol is an example of how determination and perseverance can transform even the most barren landscape into lush green forests.
The park is located in Marol and spread across an area of 3.5 acres, and was inaugurated by district guardian minister Ashish Shelar on Sunday.
The park is replete with a play area for children, recreational spaces, and restrooms.
The Minister also urged that more such parks based on the urban forest concept in Mumbai must be created.
The benefits of the park are already being accrued, and according to BMC, there has been a reduction in temperatures by 2 degrees Celsius.
Just two years ago, there was not even a thorny shrub on this plot in Marol, but today it has been transformed into the Maha Tapasvi Acharya Shri Mahashraman Ji Garden, a 3.5-acre lush urban forest.
While inaugurating the park, Shelar said it was another example of how collaborative efforts can change urban spaces into eco-friendly zones that can weather the vagaries of climate change.
The Minister also highlighted the need for citizen participation, which led to the fruition of the urban forest parks across Mumbai.
The Minister also stated that more such parks are in the pipeline, and the aim is to ensure that the temperatures in the city are reduced by 3-4°C over the next five years.
The plot’s metamorphosis was effected with half of the plot being classified as a park, while the other half was a property of the Marol Cooperative Industrial Estate and was funded by the District Planning and Development Committee.
The park was chaperoned by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the industrial estate. The World Resources Institute (WRI) chipped in with its experience, while the services of Studio Pipeelikaput, an architecture, urban design, and ecological landscaping firm, were also extensively used.
Plantation tasks were kicked off on the plot in March 2024, and due diligence was given to identify native plant species from surrounding areas. The project was handled by Neha Chavan of Studio Pipeelikaput, who, along with her team, scoured the Aarey forest, Sanjay Gandhi National Park (Borivali), and Ranibagh (Byculla) to make sure that ecological conformation was ensured.
Talking to the media house Hindustan Times, Neha Chavan said,
“We incorporated over 100 species in the garden, including six varieties of bamboo and fruit-bearing trees like mango, jackfruit, papaya, and banana to attract birdlife.”

Mumbai Court Clerk Arrested for Rs 15 Lakh Bribe; Additional Sessions Judge Named as Wanted Accused
The Mumbai ACB has exposed a major bribery scandal involving a Mazgaon court clerk and Additional Sessions Judge Ejazuddin Qazi. The clerk was caught accepting a Rs 15 lakh bribe for a favorable land-dispute verdict, while the judge—named in the FIR—remains absconding.
The Mumbai Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has uncovered a major bribery scandal involving the City Civil and Sessions Court in Mazgaon.
A court clerk has been arrested for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 15 lakh from an Additional Sessions Judge in exchange for a favorable verdict in a land dispute case. The accused clerk identified as 40-year-old Chandrakant Vasudev was caught red-handed accepting the agreed bribe amount on Tuesday.
Shockingly 55-year-old Additional Sessions Judge Ejazuddin Salauddin Qazi is also named in the FIR and is currently absconding. This is one of the rare cases in recent years where a serving judge has been charged under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
According to ACB officials the complainant’s wife filed a petition in the Bombay High Court in 2015 alleging that another group had forcibly occupied land owned by the company in Bandra. Since the property’s valuation was less than Rs 10 crore the High Court stayed third-party rights in 2016 and later transferred the commercial dispute to the Mazgaon City Civil and Sessions Court in March 2024.
Most importantly the case was listed before Court No. 14 where Judge Kazi presided. On September 9, 2025 the complainant’s office colleague received a call from Vasudev who was present in the courtroom. A meeting later took place at a cafe in Chembur on September 12 where Vasudev allegedly demanded Rs 25 lakh (Rs 15 lakh for Judge Kazi and Rs 10 lakh for himself) to secure a favorable order.
After negotiations the clerk agreed to a lower amount of Rs 15 lakh. Vasudev allegedly made repeated calls demanding payment prompting the complainant to contact the ACB on November 10th and file a formal complaint.
After verifying the allegations ACB officials laid a trap on November 11th. Top Stories Vasudev arrived to receive the Rs 15 lakh bribe and was immediately arrested. Investigators reported that immediately after receiving the money Vasudev called Judge Kazi to inform him that the payment had been received.
The judge reportedly acknowledged this evidence that proved his involvement. It’s worth noting that the ACB has now filed a case against both Vasudev and Judge Kazi under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Vasudev has been remanded to five days’ police custody while Judge Kazi remains at large.
ACB officials say further investigation is underway to trace their whereabouts and unearth the entire bribery network.

Today’s Silver Rate in Mumbai (November 14 , 2025)
Silver rates in Mumbai today are:
Silver 10g: Rs 1,731
Silver 100g: Rs 17,310
Silver 1kg: Rs 1,73,100
Many people in Mumbai buy silver for savings, gifts, or jewellery. The price changes every day. It depends on the international market and how much people in India want to buy. Local taxes and demand in Mumbai also make a difference.
In Mumbai, silver shops are in places like Zaveri Bazaar and other big markets. Most small shops and big jewellery stores give almost the same rates. But you should always ask about making charges before you buy silver jewellery or coins.
Some people look at the price of gold to guess what will happen with silver. But both metals move differently. The current gold rate for 10g is much higher than the silver rate. That’s why silver is easier for small buyers.
Silver is used a lot in Indian homes for puja, utensils, and as gifts. In Mumbai, it is common to buy silver items during festivals like Diwali and Akshaya Tritiya. On these days, prices may go up if demand is high.
One thing to remember—rates quoted online or in newspapers often do not include extra charges. Shops may add GST or small making charges. Always check the final price before you buy.
Right now, global trends, import costs, and rupee value affect silver rates in Mumbai. Prices can go up or down suddenly. If you plan to buy, compare rates at different shops and stay updated. Don’t rush. Buy only what you need.

Mumbai Gold Rates Update November 14, 2025
Gold rates in Mumbai today are:
Gold 24k (10g): Rs 1,28,660
Gold 22k (10g): Rs 1,17,910
Gold 18k (10g): Rs 96,480
Gold is important in Mumbai. Many people buy gold jewellery here, especially during weddings and festivals. Gold is also seen as a way to save money for the future. In Mumbai, shops in Zaveri Bazaar and other markets are always busy with gold buyers.
Rates change every day. The prices above are only for today. Gold prices in Mumbai move with the global market, the value of the rupee, and import duties set by the government. Sometimes prices go up when the rupee falls, or if there is a festival season with more people buying.
If you visit a local jeweller, you may also have to pay making charges, GST, and other small fees. Always check the final bill. Gold shops in Mumbai are usually reliable, but it is good to check if you are buying hallmarked gold. Hallmark tells you the purity is genuine.
Some people buy gold as an investment. Others buy gold for personal use. Either way, you should track the daily rates before you decide. You can see the price online, in newspapers, or by asking local shops.
To sum up, gold is not cheap in Mumbai right now. Prices are higher than last year. So, if you are planning to buy, compare prices and be careful. Only buy what you can afford, and always keep your bill safe for any future resale. That is the honest way to deal with gold in Mumbai.
