Maharashtra Pollution Control Board [MPCB] — heavy air pollution

Address:

807 IMPERIAL MAHAL, KHODADAD CIRCLE, DADAR (E), Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400014

It has been observed that primitive and unscientific methods are being used to fill paver blocks with sand and cement particles while building foot paths. This causes lot of air pollution while the work is in progress and even after it is completed. While the work is executed extremely heavy pollution is seen with naked eyes causing grave risk to health of citizens. Later on for months suspended dust particles are seen and felt every day in the mornings every time the footpaths are cleaned with brooms. The dust rises as high as 50 to 100 feet causing health problems to citizens. Respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis are on the rise. Immediate solution to this problem must be found. Uploading recent photos of the foot path work done at Khodadad Circle Dadar TT, Mumbai 400014. Photos clearly show left over sand and cement days after work is over. Request you to ban usage of sand and cement as filling material and take corrective action.
