Every year there is a lot of hue and cry about NCR pollution, but Mumbai air quality seems to have gotten progressively worse over last few years

AQI is consistently above 200 for the last month or so. Its like smoking so many cigarettes daily. The city is covered in almost a perpetual haze in the winter months. So many people are battling a chronic throat issue. It is impossible to go out for a walk/run. Till few years back, Dec-Jan used to be the best time to be in Mumbai. Not any more. I don’t think there is any other coastal city with this kind of poor AQI 

I know its part and parcel of upgrading the city’s infra. But if this doesn’t improve soon, all of us must be losing few years of our healthy lives to air pollution. And i don’t think our already overburdened healthcare infra can handle this

Really hope the state and the central government builds a task force to tackle this at war footing

Beijing and many other Chinese cities had similar AQI levels 15 years back. Today most are sub 50 AQI. If they were able to do it, I am sure we can reverse our air quality too with the right efforts
