The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to lift the blanket construction ban in Borivli East and Byculla, although individual case monitoring will continue.

On December 30, 2024, the BMC imposed a ban on all construction activities in Borivli East and E-Ward, which includes Byculla, Mazagaon, and Mumbai Central, due to the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching around 200 for several days. On Sunday, civic chief Bhushan Gagrani told mid-day that the blanket ban has now been lifted, but individual cases will still be monitored.
