Air Action Hub urges PMC to curb nighttime bonfires
Hindustan Times Pune|December 25, 2024
In the wake of growing air pollution in winter and the burning of bonfires adding to it, city-based Pune Air Action Hub of Parisar has written to the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) urging it to issue directions to societies and property owners who employ night staff.

PUNE:

These bonfires sometimes burn for the entire night, and it is known that air pollutants are trapped close to the ground level when temperatures decrease.

Burning in the night or early morning only adds to this already concentrated air pollution when most people go for morning walks, children go to schools and colleges and adults to work.

Shweta Vernekar, senior programme associate, Parisar said, "PMC should have to give directions that if the security guards are found to be burning waste for warmth, the societies/property owners will be fined for the offence of open waste burning as per the Maharashtra State Solid Waste Management Bye Laws, July 2019."
