BEST buses are being fitted with 350 air filters to keep air pollution under control, Deepak Kesarkar, guardian minister, Mumbai Suburban district, said on Wednesday.

While the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has already declared various measures to control pollution at its source, it is also looking for remedies for dusty air. Now, the civic body along with the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has started the process of installing air filters. Kesarkar said at a press conference, “Out of the 350 filters, 150 will be vehicle-mounted ones and the other 200 will be detachable. This is being done on a trial basis and based on the results, we will decide the further course of action.”
