The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been using anti-smog machines since Sunday to make Mumbai’s air breathable again. However, the equipment has only been used in the island city, and this has not gone unnoticed by annoyed residents of the suburbs. Civic officials claim they will start using the machines in the suburbs too.
After the Prime Minister’s Officer expressed concern about the sudden rise in the city pollution level, the BMC started taking measures such as deploying six anti-smog machines across the city. A Lokhandwala resident, Dhaval Shah, said suburban Mumbai is where the majority of new and redevelopment-related construction work takes place and major manufacturing units and other sources of emissions are situated there.
