Navi Mumbai: In just 10 days, faux lungs installed in Kharghar go âBlackâ
In a matter of just 10 days, the giant pair of faux lungs installed at a busy junction of Kharghar on January 15 have turned dark black from chalk white. The lung billboard is a part of the campaign initiated by Waatavaran Foundation to raise awareness about the health impacts of increasing air pollution in the Kharghar- Taloja-Panvel belt.
A similar pair of lungs installed at Bandra, Mumbai in January 2020 took 14 days to go black, while one installed in Delhi (November 2018) just took 6 days to go black. Experts, as well as local residents from Kharghar, have asked the Maharashtra Government to consider this âexperimentâ as a warning bell and take strong measures to improve the air quality in this area.
