Mumbai, Nov. 30 -- Accusing the Mahayuti government of being "pro-builder" and failing to control the city's rising pollution levels, the Mumbai Congress announced that it will release a Mumbai Clean Air Action Plan on Sunday as its manifesto for the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Elections (BMC). The party said the plan, based on scientific studies, is its commitment to making the city pollution-free. Mumbai Congress chief Varsha Gaikwad said the manifesto will outline a scientific roadmap to improve the city's air quality. "The state government is a builder and business-friendly government. The open spaces that are ecologically sensitive have been given out to their favorite builders," said Gaikwad. She alleged, "The BMC has no plan to stop this pollution. We have studied various reports and are coming out with measures and solutions to reduce the pollution." Along with presenting the plan as the party's manifesto, Gaiwad added the party will also create a timeline for its implementation. Mumbai Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant said, "Mumbai's air quality has worsened by 22%, yet no action has been taken against builders. The Mahayuti government's nexus with builders ensures they go scot-free." htc...
