Mumbai AQI

The Bombay High Court on Friday said that tackling Mumbai’s poor air quality would require time, but pollution caused by construction activities could be controlled if existing guidelines are strictly implemented.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad set up an independent five-member committee to inspect construction sites. The panel includes officials from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), and the state government’s public health department.
