CIDCO — Mitigation of Air-pollution at residential areas of Roadpali-Kalamboli

Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Pungent and suffocating gases emanating probably from Taloja-MIDC Industrial areas have made the lives of Roadpali, Kalamboli residents’ miserable especially during the nights and early mornings. Since last two years, CIDCO has issued permission and approvals for occupancy to hundreds of new residential buildings in and around Roadpali – Kalamboli residential zones. However it appears that the concerned authorities have seldom looked into the serious health hazards being faced by the residents and to mitigate pollution hazards associated with neighboring industrial units. Due to this, Air-borne diseases like bronchial asthma and allied respiratory diseases among young children and aged persons are increasing day by day. Roadpali Residents are constrained to keep their doors and windows closed to avoid pungent smell and suffocating air pollution especially during nights & early mornings. In fact, residents are also constrained to install Air-conditioners for elders and Nebulizers for kids due to the presence of obnoxious gases with pungent smell originating probably from the Taloja Industrial Units with wind flow. As we have already submitted our grievances to The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) authorities thru. email complaints on 04.11.2014, we also hereby request concerned authorities of CIDCO to take-up the matter with MPCB authorities more appropriately for taking corrective actions to mitigate the hardship being faced by the residents from such pollution hazards to the extent possible at Roadpali, Kalamboli residential areas and make it pollution free residential zones for safe & healthy living.
