Since 2019, a dedicated team of 20 trained lifeguards has been stationed at Juhu beach, consistently working to prevent drowning incidents. In just the past five days, they have rescued two individuals from the sea. Their efforts come as Mumbai and the surrounding areas are under a red alert declared by the BMC due to continuous heavy rainfall. On Monday, another man was rescued from drowning at Dadar beach.

Owing to the severe weather and high tides, the Santacruz and Juhu police have cordoned off Juhu beach and are restricting public access. Police personnel have also been making repeated announcements urging people to stay away from the beach for safety. These lifeguards are part of Drishti Lifeguard Services Pvt. Ltd. and work in shifts around the clock. All of them are trained fishermen deployed across key beach areas, including Juhu, Aksa, Gorai, Versova, Girgaon, and Dadar. According to officials, Juhu and Aksa see the highest number of drowning cases during the monsoon.
