The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) decided to provide gas detector balloons at every ward and fire brigade station. They’ve also decided to install a GPS system in harmful gas transport tankers and introduced training in disaster management workshop to tackle the gas leakage issue in the future.  Concerned authorities will have a meeting at BMC on Friday to discuss the report submitted and the measures to be undertaken.

After the incident where there was an intense gaseous smell on September 19, the BMC called for the meeting of concerned authorities like Disaster Management Cell, Mumbai Fire Brigade, Mumbai Police, Rashtriya Chemical Fertilisers, Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health, Mahanagar Gas Ltd, BPCL and HPCL. Dr Ashwini Joshi, additional commissioner of the BMC, formed the committee of authorities to submit the report on the source of gas leakages and measures to tackle such situations in future. The committee was supposed to file its report on September 26 and then October 1. But the meeting was postponed two times and it finally took place on Friday. Though the source of the smell has not been detected, concerned authorities suggested various measures.
