Due to a significant increase in air pollution in Mumbai and surrounding areas, the Pollution Control Board has taken strict action. Under this, a total of 19 ready-mix concrete (RMC) plants in Mumbai and nearby areas have been shut down. These plants are accused of causing objectionable pollution and violating regulations.
Specifically, it has been found that four ready-mix concrete industries in the Deonar area have seriously violated pollution control regulations. As a result, the Pollution Control Board has taken strict measures against them. This action by the board is considered an important step towards controlling air pollution in the city of Mumbai.
Due to air pollution negatively affecting the health of people in the city and surrounding areas, the local administration and the Pollution Control Board have taken a strict stance against these devices to reduce pollution. Smoke and dust from ready-mix concrete plants increase environmental pollution, which directly impacts the lives of citizens.
The Pollution Control Board has promised to monitor such rule-breaking industries in the future and to adopt necessary stringent measures. The local people have responded to this action to control pollution in the city and have expressed the expectation of maintaining cleaner air.
