Mumbai BMC Demolishes Foundries; Residents Report Resumption

The Mumbai government recently took action against 13 illegal foundries, called bhattis, on Khairani Road because they were causing air pollution.

These foundries were making local residents sick, leading to issues like breathing problems.

Government workers destroyed equipment and cut off the power to these illegal businesses.

However, people living nearby are complaining that the foundries start operating again within a short time.

The residents want the government to take steps to solve the long-term problem of these foundries.
