Mumbai Enforces GRAP IV Amid Rising Pollution

Mumbai's air quality has been getting worse, so the city's government has decided to take strong action.

They are shutting down construction sites because they make a lot of dust and pollution.

The air quality has been going up and down, with some areas having very bad air.

Experts say that the weather and winds are also making the problem worse.

The city is trying to fix this by using cleaner fuels, more electric buses, and spraying water on roads to keep the dust down.

The BMC has also sent notices to many polluting sites to follow strict rules.

Last year, similar measures were briefly used when pollution levels spiked in certain areas.

The BMC has also started sending notices to big infrastructure projects like the bullet train project at Bandra Kurla Complex for not following dust rules.

They are checking all construction sites to make sure they have sensors to measure air quality and are following the rules.

Some projects say they are already following the rules and have taken steps to control dust.
