Girgaon Chowpatty (IAST: Giragāva Chaupāṭī), is a public beach at the eastern end of the Queen’s Necklace adjoining Malabar Hill in the Girgaon area of Mumbai (Bombay), Maharashtra, India.
Pollution
The water surrounding the beach is severely polluted and unsafe for swimming. Fecal coliform was recorded in the water in 2013 at levels of 1455 per 100 mL, far above the acceptable standard of 500 per 100 mL. The presence of fecal coliform in the water has been attributed to waste from storm drains, open defecation, and the discharge of raw sewage from sewer pipes not connected to the city mains.
On 30 August 2016, the sand on the beach is said to be turning black due to a possible oil slick in the area. The specific cause of the blackening is unknown.
