[Resolved]  Rcf & Tata Power — Air Pollution

I am a resident of Wadala (West), Mumbai - 400031. We stay on the 10Th floor of a residential building. We have refineries and factories such as RCF and Tata Power towards our east side in Chembur area. Since about last 2 months in the night after about 10:30pm we face a lot of suffocating air pollution, which smell like ammonia, which is due to the gasses emitted by these factories. These gasses are so severe that we find it difficult to breathe. It is like staying in a chimney. It causes sleepless nights, burning eyes, headaches, etc. We have senior citizens and infants staying in our house. In spite of our several complaints to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) no action has been taken against this. Our complaints are falling on deaf ears. We find this like slow poisoning. I am sure the extent of pollution definitely exceeds the norms set by the government. Please issue your directives to the concerned officials of your department to check the pollution levels in the night after about 10:30 pm, at higher levels. I therefore request you to kindly look into this matter and save us from this hazardous situation. Please help us.



Thanking You,
