Dust pollution due to concreting work has caused severe air pollution
Authorities have turned a blind eye to the dust pollution that is taking place on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway, which is due to the mud scattered on the sides of the road and the dust due to ongoing concreting work. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is carrying out the concreting work on the highway stretch between Varsova Bridge and Manor but no water is being sprinkled to curb the dust pollution which is causing a lot of inconvenience to the motorists.
On Thursday, this reporter travelled between Mira Road and Palghar via the Mumbai Ahmedabad highway and during our journey we noticed that while traffic jam is a really serious issue due to the ongoing work, the more serious issue is that of the cement concrete dust pollution and the pollution due to the mud dumped on the side of the road.
