The Bombay High Court has formed a five-member team to inspect construction sites and check violations of air pollution norms as Mumbai’s AQI continues to worsen. The panel has been directed to submit its report by December 15 with strict monitoring measures.
The Bombay High Court criticized the dependence on natural factors like wind to solve Mumbai’s air pollution problem. The court told the civic body and state government, “We cannot rely on winds; we need to find solutions ourselves.” It stressed the importance of taking real and effective steps to improve the city’s air quality. The court urged the authorities to act quickly and not wait for weather changes to clear the pollution.
