As per AQICN.org the air quality in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region has deteriorated drastically. The air pollution levels are really unhealthy for any outdoor activity. Few motorists mentioned that they were experiencing watery eyes while traveling on the highway.


Last week when Londoners faced bad air quality, the authorities acknowledged the conditions. London mayor and Transport For London warned the citizens to avoid any outdoor ventures. Whereas the authorities in India haven’t mentioned anything. There seems a disconnect and lack of concern or even courtesy from authorities towards the citizens.
