The Public Works Department (PWD) appears to have overlooked dust mitigation protocols mandated by the BMC and the state government, resulting in significant dust emissions during internal road construction at Aarey Milk Colony. This has caused considerable inconvenience to local residents and motorists.
The PWD has undertaken the task of constructing new internal roads inside Aarey Milk Colony, connecting tribal hamlets and cattle farm units. At some locations, the roads are being built using cement concrete, while at others, tar is being used.
