Residents of Pimpri-Chinchwad are facing a serious health crisis due to rising dust levels in the area. MLA Mahesh Landge has stepped in to demand immediate action from Environment Minister Pankaja Munde. The deteriorating air quality has led to an increase in respiratory illnesses, with reports showing a rise in asthma, allergies, and other respiratory disorders.
Housing society residents in the area have staged a silent protest to draw attention to the issue. Cement dust in the air and pollution from heavy vehicles have significantly lowered the air quality, especially affecting vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and pregnant women. Residents have expressed concerns about dust settling on roads, vehicles, and homes, impacting their quality of life.
In response to the crisis, MLA Landge has called for urgent measures to be taken. He has demanded stricter pollution control regulations, regular air quality checks, and penalties for vehicles violating pollution norms. Suggestions include cleaning roads twice a day, using water tankers to control dust levels, and providing healthcare services to those affected by pollution.
The Air Quality Index data for various areas in Pimpri-Chinchwad on March 12, 2025, shows alarming levels of pollution. With several areas exceeding the harmful threshold, urgent action is needed to address the situation. MLA Landge has called for a high-level meeting with environmental officials and local representatives to implement necessary measures to improve air quality.
The residents of Pimpri-Chinchwad are hopeful that the government and the environment department will take swift action to tackle the air pollution crisis and safeguard the health of the community.
