Western suburb resident associations in Mumbai met the Mayor to demand immediate regulatory action against excessive construction noise and airborne pollution. Key demands include stricter enforcement of working hours and dedicated officer oversight for developer compliance.

The Slum Rehabilitation Authority has issued notices to 170 construction projects across Mumbai for violating air pollution mitigation norms, with Dahisar, Malad East, and Bhandup being the most affected areas. Developers have been given 15 days to comply or face construction shutdowns.
