PMC orders builders to install sensors
The Pune Municipal Corporation has told big builders to put air pollution sensors and LED lights at their construction sites.
They have 15 days to do this.
If they don't, they will have to stop working and might get in trouble.
This is to help check the air pollution in the city.
Only big construction sites, with 5,000 square meters or more, need to do this.
The sensors will show pollution levels in real-time, so everyone can see.
