The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) can do very little to actually control the sale of harmful colours during the Holi festivities. According to board officials, the real authority to ban such colours lies with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

NOT SAFE: Toxic Holi colours are being openly sold everywhere, as the BMC has not taken any action or banned their entry into the market. Pic/Sayed Sameer Abedi
