With the monsoon now behind, dust pollution has returned to haunt residents in the Sion-Pratiksha Nagar-Wadala belt. Morning walkers and locals say that ongoing construction activities and the existing particles on the roads in the area are generating heavy dust, making daily walks increasingly difficult. Residents are demanding that authorities carry out regular water spraying to bring the situation under control and also that action be taken against those responsible.
For the past week, during early mornings and late nights, mid-day photographer Atul Kamble, has observed a noticeable rise in dust pollution. The most affected stretches include the route from Pratiksha Nagar to Wadala RTO and the vicinity of the Monorail Depot.
