Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation Penalizes 421 Construction Sites for Air Pollution Violations
In a proactive response to environmental concerns, dedicated squads have been formed to target construction firms violating regulations in Pimpri Chinchwad. Over the past four days, these squads, deployed across 32 different wards, identified violations at 421 construction sites, resulting in fines exceeding Rs 33 lakh being imposed on the offenders. The squads, equipped with various personnel, use photography and videography to document violations. Notices are then issued in accordance with environmental protection acts, with strict penalties, including halting construction, being considered for persistent violators. Emphasizing the seriousness of the initiative, authorities note that there are approximately 1,000-1,500 ongoing construction projects in Pimpri Chinchwad, and strict actions will be taken to ensure compliance.
In response to a source apportionment study identifying construction activities as a significant contributor to air pollution in Pimpri Chinchwad, the municipal corporation has undertaken immediate measures. Alongside the crackdown on construction violations, the civic body has introduced vehicles equipped with movable fog cannon dust suppression systems and road-washer systems. These initiatives, conducted under a national clean air mission, aim to mitigate air pollution caused by construction activities and enhance overall environmental sustainability in the region. The concerted efforts of the dedicated squads and the adoption of advanced technologies reflect a commitment to enforcing environmental regulations and ensuring a healthier living environment for the residents of Pimpri Chinchwad.
