“We Cannot Always Rely On God For Winds, Show Some Will To Clear Air Pollution”: Bombay High Court Tells BMC, Maha Govt
Live LawThe Bombay High Court on Friday while expressing displeasure over the 'harsh' air pollution in Mumbai, told the authorities that they cannot rely on the God for winds to clear the air and instead the authorities need to show some 'will' to cut down the air pollution in the city. A division bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Girish Kulkarni expressed displeasure over the hardly any efforts shown by the State authorities in taking positive measures to curb pollution in the city. "The Air quality getting very harsh day by day.," Justice Kulkarni, remarked at the outset, further adding that the city is facing serious air pollution problems and that the authorities only work when some order is passed by the courts. The bench pointed out that the pollution usually kickstarts from Diwali season and then other issues like the ongoing construction works across the city, the traffic congestion etc add to the worsening air.
