By 2030, Mumbai can hope for a better environment as the state government is confident of making the entire public transport system fully green and eliminating the use of fossil fuel and even putting an end to the release of untreated sewage into sea.

Speaking on the eve of World Environment Day function organised in Bandra, CM Devendra Fadnavis emphasised on having a sustainable and clean environment. “Fossil fuel is one of the key contributors to pollution. By 2030, the Maharashtra government will ensure to eliminate the use of fossil fuel for the entire public transport fleet. All public transport fleets will be green,” the CM reiterated.

Fadnavis stated that untreated sewage is being disposed of in the sea, but this needs to end. “We already have sewage treatment plants. But, in the next four years, the treatment plants will be brought to capacity to treat the entire sewage, so that no untreated water is discharged into the sea,” the CM mentioned the underlying importance of having a clean sea.
