Over a year after filing their first complaint, residents of Lokhandwala in Andheri have once again written to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) over inaction against dust pollution along the 800-metre Best Colony Road.

According to residents, the problem worsens during the monsoon, as trucks with mud-caked tyres exit a construction site that turns marshy during rains. The mud is deposited on the road, and once it dries, it turns into thick dust clouds — polluting the air and endangering public health. Citizens have also accused the BMC of ignoring repeated complaints. mid-day had first reported the issue in July this year.
