For all its claims of trying to curb pollution on urgent basis, the BMC has not installed air monitoring units since their purchase nearly two years back. The BMC brought five units worth over Rs 10 crore under the Central government’s Clean Air scheme in 2021. It has not installed even one unit though five sites had been selected for each. Now the civic body says the units will not be ready before June
As Mumbai’s air quality remains in ‘poor’ to ‘very poor’ categories for weeks now, citizens and activists assail BMC for not warning the citizens in advance
