After issuing the final guideline for dust mitigation on Friday last week, civic ward offices started issuing intimation notices to construction sites this week. The notices are part of a protocol meant to make builders aware of the rules. Meanwhile, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) N ward office on Wednesday slammed a fine of Rs 10,000 each against two construction sites for not maintaining cleanliness.

Apart from raising barriers around construction sites, builders also have to keep construction material covered. File Pic/Atul Kamble
