Three days after mid-day highlighted activists’ concerns about rising dust levels due to rampant violations at construction sites, the BMC boss called a meeting on Sunday and set up a panel, which will suggest pollution control measures in seven days.
The suggestions will be implemented from April 1 and strict action will be taken against violators, civic officials said. The seven-member committee, formed by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s Commissioner and Administrator Iqbal Singh Chahal, will prepare and present the plan in seven days.
