Expressing displeasure at the slow progress of the road washing drive of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), civic chief I S Chahal has ordered officials to ensure 1,000 km of roads are watered daily. Currently, the civic body washes 621 km of roads every day.

Chahal, in a video conference with BMC officials on Thursday, warned assistant municipal commissioners of every ward that action would be taken against them if he 
found any lapses in the implementation of dust mitigation guidelines are construction sites.
