The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is stepping up dust-control measures in Mumbai, including using treated sewage water from wells and lakes for road washing, following the rejection of a tanker-fed proposal. The corporation is also planning to deploy AI-powered analytics to monitor nearly 3,000 air-quality sensors at construction and infrastructure sites to identify pollution hotspots.
