Chembur and surrounding areas in Mumbai's M West Ward are reportedly facing severe civic distress as rapid redevelopment brings dust pollution, broken roads, traffic snarls, and unchecked encroachments, prompting residents to demand urgent action and sustainable urban planning.

NMMC has launched an extensive road-cleaning campaign targeting arterial roads and MIDC zones across Navi Mumbai to reduce dust pollution and improve air quality during winter months.

With air quality worsening, Mumbai has introduced stricter rules to curb construction-related pollution. These measures aim to improve air quality and create a healthier environment for its residents.
