This proactive approach by the BMC aims to mitigate the adverse impacts of construction activities on the environment and the health of Mumbai's residents. By emphasising cleaner construction practices and increased vigilance, the city is taking a significant step towards reducing pollution levels. The BMC's commitment to combating air pollution aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and enhance the quality of life in urban areas.
