Pali Hill residents issue guidelines for redevelopment projects

Mumbai: Residents of Pali Hill, an upmarket locality in Bandra, have formulated a fresh set of guidelines for contractors undertaking redevelopment projects, such as barring construction activities beyond 7pm and mandating installation of air purifiers and noise barriers at worksites. At a meeting held on Sunday, the Pali Hill Residents’ Association named a sub-committee that will maintain vigil on redevelopment projects in the locality and ensure strict implementation of the guidelines. Around 100 residents and representatives of contractors undertaking redevelopment projects in Pali Hill attended the meeting on Sunday where the guidelines were finalised. They bar construction work beyond 7am to 7pm as opposed to the 6am to 10pm deadline set by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and mandate installation of air purifiers and noise barriers at all worksites, similar to BMC’s latest pollution mitigation measures.
