Overview
- The BMC said Stage-4 of the Graded Response Action Plan is not in effect after weekend improvements, with reimposition kept on the table if air quality worsens.
- Civic squads have issued 482 show-cause notices to construction sites and ordered work halted at 264, with 94 ward-level teams continuing inspections and checks.
- A show-cause notice was served to the bullet train construction site at Bandra-Kurla Complex for dust-mitigation lapses, and the coastal road department was told to tighten controls; NHSRCL acknowledged the notice and pledged compliance.
- Mumbai’s overall AQI eased to the moderate band around 103–114 on Monday, and was reported near 178 on Tuesday morning, after several pockets had touched 300-plus late last week.
- Monitoring gaps persist, with BMC data showing only about 38% of sites have installed air-quality sensors and just 309 devices active, despite mandatory display and mitigation rules.
