The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) will issue a notice to the ready-mix concrete (RMC) plant blamed for causing dust and air pollution near a residential area in Kurla. A senior MPCB officer told mid-day that officials inspected the site, found pollution violations, and sent a proposal for action to higher authorities.

The official said, “The company operating the RMC plant informed us that the dust pollution reported last week was caused by a leakage of cement from the bulker feeding pipe connected to silos. They stated that the incident was accidental and that immediate measures were taken to stop the leakage, including replacing the feeding pipe. Our team has visited the site, and action will be taken as per the law. A report is being prepared and will be forwarded to senior officials for further action.”
