Mumbai Air Pollution : of the 4000 construction sites outside Mumbai, only 1 stop work notice has been issued for violating air pollution norms.
While BMC has issued more than 500 stop work notices to construction sites violating the guidelines, seven Municipal Corporation outside Mumbai has collectively issued only 1.
Experts raised concerns about this, saying the issue of air pollution cannot be limited to Mumbai alone. @Sunil_S_Dahiya, analyst, Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, said, “We see that there is no action on violators around Mumbai because the issue is not highlighted. This is helping them evade accountability and responsibility. There should be much more discussion about air pollution in other municipal corporations as well.”
