In response to the deteriorating Air Quality Index (AQI) in Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has taken significant steps to address air pollution through the issuance of comprehensive guidelines on Wednesday. These guidelines, signed by the municipal commissioner, Iqbal Singh Chahal, include strict measures to mitigate air pollution across the city.
One of the primary directives outlined in the guidelines is a complete ban on the open-air burning of trash or any materials within the BMC`s geographical area. This prohibition extends to garbage dumping grounds and potential sites of trash burning. This move is aimed at curbing the practice of open burning that significantly contributes to air pollution in urban areas.
