Mumbai has recorded worse AQI levels for three consecutive days compared to peak winter, with PM10 emerging as the major pollutant. While BMC attributes the spike to low wind speed, residents and activists point fingers at ongoing road concreting works across the city.

Residents of GTB Nagar in Sion have alleged that redevelopment work at CGS Colony has severely damaged a narrow DP road due to heavy construction vehicles. Locals claim BMC denied granting permission for its use and have raised safety concerns for pedestrians and school children
