The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has taken action against 150 builders for non-compliance with environmental regulations. This follows a 15-day inspection campaign that assessed over 400 construction sites across eight administrative zones. The builders were found lacking in essential dust control measures, such as not using green net coverings and failing to implement adequate water sprinklers to manage dust. Sunil Bhagwani, the joint city engineer and head of the PCMC building permission department, emphasized the importance of adhering to environmental clearance norms. The builders have been given 15 days to rectify these issues, or they will face penalties. This initiative comes in response to increasing complaints from residents about dust pollution in rapidly developing areas like Wakad, Tathawade, and Punawale. Additionally, the civic body has enforced restrictions on construction activities during nighttime to mitigate pollution.
