As part of efforts to combat Mumbai air pollution, authorities are considering a range of technological measures. These include fitting vehicle-mounted air filters on 350 BEST buses, deploying virtual chimneys at congested traffic spots, installing special streetlights, and introducing air purification systems in select gardens, according to a report in PTI.

Reportedly, Mumbai's civic body has taken various actions to address air quality issues, such as ordering 30 vehicles equipped with sprinklers (fog cannons), serving notices to readymix concrete units, and directing industries to increase chimney heights. While there is no ban on bursting crackers, citizens are encouraged to exercise discretion and limit their use.
