The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to set up smoke filtration systems at BYL Nair Hospital in Mumbai Central and Lokmanya Tilak hospital in Sion. The civic body, however, has no plans to set up the system in peripheral hospitals yet.

With the installation of the smoke extraction systems, the civic body aims to reduce harmful gases in the air, which could prove hazardous, and increase visibility, thus making an impact during the evacuation of people should a fire break out.
