BMC holds workshop for real estate developers to ensure proper dust mitigation

“Mumbai is growing rapidly. New infrastructure projects, housing and transport facilities are being built. Along with this rapid development, there are also challenges related to mitigation of construction dust and emissions. Therefore, as a preventive measure, builders need to implement mitigation measures to contain dust displacement. The workshop is being held to ensure the BMC’s guidelines are followed seamlessly to ensure that there is a healthy environment for Mumbaikars,” said Avinash Kate, deputy municipal commissioner (Environment).

BMC has jointly coordinated the workshop with World Resources Institute (WRI), India.

Meanwhile, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) dashboard, Mumbai’s overall AQI stood at 139 which is regarded as moderate. However, pockets like Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) continued to record poor AQI at 201, while the remaining 23 stations recorded AQI levels within the moderate category.
