What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's transition to a new solid waste management system resulted in garbage rotting on roads in eastern suburbs. The Bombay High Court has mandated environmental mitigation measures for the BMC. To prevent waste from choking waterways, the BMC is installing 10-foot-high steel nets in select nullahs, with a goal to cover all major nullahs by May 2028.
