Maharashtra Pollution Control Board [MPCB] — illegal toxic smoke emissions in a residential area by an illegal gold smelter

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400002

The illegal smelter has been degrading the air quality in the are around kalbadevi, south mumbai. This is in a heavy occupied residential area at 149/14 gaiwadi, building no.6. Complaints for the same have been officially submitted to the bmc, the nagar sevak, local mla and the corporator, but all in vain. Nobody is ready to help a common man. People have started developing serious respiratory issues due to the continuous emissions via a make shift chimney, the owner has knowingly given his place on rent to the illegal miscreants and is not ready to shut him. With maharashtra banning things like plastic for a better environmental impact, one cannot help but think how redundant that would be if people started asphyxiating on the toxic vapours first. This complaint is a last ditch effort before the common man admits defeat against money and corruption!
Any and every help will be appreciated.
