Mumbai: Mithi River Desilting Contractors Replaced, Deadline Missed

The city of Mumbai is trying to clean up the Mithi River to prevent flooding during the monsoon season, but they're behind schedule.

The companies hired to do the work stopped, so the city hired new ones.

The goal is to remove a lot of mud and dirt from the river by the end of June.

About two-thirds of the cleaning is done, and the city is working hard to catch up, aiming to finish most of the work by the end of June.
