Andheri West locals residing along P Tandon Marg near Infinity Mall expressed outrage after an eight-storey building was demolished without following the dust-mitigation norms of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), resulting in a sizeable dust storm. 

The building, in the Sangam Society complex, is being redeveloped. “With rising AQI numbers and dust pollution going through the roof with unabated violations of norms by developers, the BMC has to make fines steeper so that citizens’ health doesn’t get affected time and again thanks to such developers, said Dhaval Shah, founder of the Lokhandwala Oshiwara Citizens Association.
