Explained: What are the big, black oil-emanating tarballs seen on Mumbai’s beaches?
Most of the times, the presence of several tarballs indicate an oil spill. However, its annual occurrence on the west coast during the monsoon has led marine biologists and experts to demand an investigation in the matter.
On Thursday, Girgaum chowpatty, a famous tourist spot in South Mumbai, saw big, black oil-emanating balls lying on its sandy beach. On July 5 and 6, Juhu beach in suburban Mumbai too had these strewn on its shore. A week later at the Marine Drive promenade, visitors complained about the smell of diesel.
