No construction work permitted after 10 pm in Mumbai

12 Mar 2022 CW Team

On Wednesday, Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey held a meeting with over a dozen prominent builders in the city, during which he asked them not to execute any construction activity after 10 pm in the city to curb noise pollution.

People must not face issues due to the construction work. Thus, the developers should set up acoustic barrier sheets at their sites, Pandey told the builders during the meeting.

The police commissioner additionally asked the builders not to provide traffic police-like dresses to the security personnel and such guards should remain posted at the construction site and should not come on the road.

The developers must establish boards of work timing and duration at the construction site, he told the media.

After taking control as the new police chief of the metropolis, Pandey asked builders and construction contractors to rein in noise pollution and provide relief to the people of the city. A few days back, addressing people via a Facebook Live session, Pandey had said that construction activity was vital, but at the same time, citizens must get at least a noise-free Sunday or noise-free nights.
