With the development body Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority starting work on the Metro car depot at Kanjurmarg, a city-based green activist has expressed health concerns over the large amount of dust filling the air in the area.

Stalin D, who had rallied for the shifting of the car depot from its earlier proposed site at Aarey to Kanjurmarg on environmental grounds, has appealed to MMRDA to check the air pollution. The new construction site is close to the Eastern Express Highway.
