The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has worked out measures in order to keep pollution emanating from various construction works in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) at bay. The development authority has issued directives for various works which are being carried out in the area, which is near Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's bungalow, failing to follow which will invite penalties.
The dust and air pollution has been a major issue in the business district of BKC. There is a lot of ongoing construction in BKC including the work of underground metro line three. The casting yard of the metro is also in G Block. The construction material and the muck from heavy vehicles that transport them, sometimes fall on the road and cause problems to people coming to BKC for work, etc.
