This reference to meeting was chaired by Sanjeev Kumar, Additional Municipal Commissioner (Environment), who instructed the officials to ensure that the provisions of the Environment Protection Act (1986) and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981, which are mandated in tender conditions for almost all BMC projects, are followed by the contractors. The building proposals department was also asked to ensure that private developers follow air pollution norms.

This meeting happened only  after Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis apologised to citizens for the inconvenience caused by under-construction infrastructure projects as well as those by private Developers.

Despite all those instructions issued in the matter, the ground realities have not changed at all.

The RMC Plant at Orlem Malad West is still spewing venomous air in the region thereby affected the health of the locals.

If this public nuisance is not stopped forthwith we will be forced to agitate on the issue.
