As air quality is improving in Borivli East and Byculla, the BMC on Friday decided to monitor the situation for 24 hours before revoking the ban on work at construction sites. Meanwhile, the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has issued notices to the BMC and MMRDA for flouting guidelines.

Siddhesh Kadam, chairman of the MPCB, held a meeting with civic chied Bhushan Gagrani at the BMC headquarters. Addressing a press conference, Kadam, said the MPCB had issued notices to the BMC and MMRDA over the lapses in the pollution and dust-mitigation guidelines at the Coastal Road project site in Worli and the Bandra Kurla Complex Metro work site, respectively.
