MUMBAI:

It has also issued 462 stop-work notices to construction sites and infrastructure projects that failed to comply with the show cause notices. Seventy-one show-cause notices, meanwhile, have been revoked.

The show-cause notices issued on Monday include the BMC's own civic projects. "We have issued these notices to road contractors through our road engineers," said a senior official from K East ward. "We realised that we were issuing notices only to private developers but our own infrastructure works like the cement-concreting of roads are also contributing to air pollution. We also need to follow the rules the other agencies are following. We have issued a 24-hour notice on Monday, failure to comply with which stop-work notices will be issued and work will be stopped completely."
