After Shivaji Park residents, those living in the periphery of Dr Norman Francis Lewis ground (Supari Talao) on Mt Carmel Road in Bandra West have raised complaints about dust pollution due to loose soil.

One such resident wrote to mid-day, saying, “We are fortunate to have the ground right in front of our residence, and it’s truly heartening to see children using the space daily for play and recreation. However, the lack of regular watering by the BMC [Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation] has become a concern. The dry ground leads to significant dust pollution, which constantly affects the surrounding residents and creates an unhealthy environment.” Civic officials told mid-day that immediate action would be taken to mitigate dust pollution.
