Even as the BMC continues to take action against the gold polishing and smelting units in Bhuleshwar and Kalabadevi, for running illegal chimneys, the city civil court has refused to grant relief to the jewellers' association, which sought a stay against the civic body's action. Even though the residents have been facing the harmful effects of the toxic gases emitted by local gold jewellery units for 16 years, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered the BMC to take action in the matter only in January this year.
