Kharghar Roads Choked by Dust, Residents Demand Civic Action

Several roads in Kharghar are covered with a lot of dust.

Cars and other vehicles stir the dust into the air as they pass.

This happens most noticeably in the morning and evening.

The dust can make it harder for drivers to see.

Residents are also worried that breathing dusty air could affect people’s health.

Construction work and uncovered soil are adding more dust.

Dust has even settled on trees beside the roads.

Residents want the local civic body to clean the roads more often and spray water.

They also want trucks carrying soil and building materials to be covered.
