Echoing the concerns of Shivaji Park locals, locals on the periphery of Dr Norman Francis Lewis ground, popularly known as Supari Talao on Mt Carmel Road in Bandra West, have similar complaints about dust pollution due to loose soil, our report stated.
In our recent report, a resident, while acknowledging that he was fortunate to live in front of a maidan, highlighted that a lack of regular watering by the BMC is concerning. A dearth of water/moisture leads to a dry ground. This means dust pollution, affecting those living there, creating an unhealthy environment.
