Mumbai: MPCB Directs BMC To Implement Dust Mitigation Plan At Shivaji Park Within 15 Days https://www.freepressjournal.in/mumbai/mumbai-mpcb-directs-bmc-to-implement-dust-mitigation-plan-at-shivaji-park-within-15-days
The residents of Dadar’s Shivaji Park area have been complaining about the dust pollution for a couple of years. However, the issue came to limelight amid the worsening air quality index in Mumbai since last month.
In the historic 28-acre big Shivaji Park, 70 percent area is plain ground and 30 percent is the green patch. “It was four to five years ago that the BMC had put red soil on the ground as part of its beautification project. However, the ground has a high footfall and it was a failed project,” a civic officer said.
