The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) approved a proposal to install five dust mitigation and monitoring systems in highly polluted areas in March 2023, but the project has not yet taken off. Sources claim the ward offices concerned are yet to grant no-objection certificates to set up these machines.
The mitigation and monitoring units are worth Rs 10 crore and have a maintenance period of three years. They would be installed at Haji Ali junction, Kalanagar junction in Bandra, Dahisar Check Naka, Chheda Nagar Junction in Ghatkopar and Mulund Check Naka.
