We measured noise levels at festivals across Mumbai. Despite noise regulations, loudspeakers blared past midnight. The noise ranged from 80db to 112db, both exceeding safe limits. We will write to the CM to address this issue, as celebrations shouldn't harm public health.

It even affects the environment, changing landscapes by changing the behaviour of birds, animals and insects. #NoiseHurts more than just our ears.

This #InternationalNoiseAwarenessDay, it’s more important than ever to raise our Awaaz against noise.Noise has far greater effects on our health and the environment than people realise.

Electrification of BEST will reduce noise pollution.But BEST cannot absorb everybody else's air pollution.We should be concerned about overall quality of air we are breathing and this has to come down by a great deal- not just by buying or selling credits timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/96…

Breaking #noisepollution rules for visiting VIPs demonstrates to them our own disregard of environmental laws despite our high-level statements that we are serious about tackling #climatechange

@ajay9977 @narendramodi @moefcc @AshwiniVaishnaw @DrSJaishankar @akshay_journo @vinivdvc @Dev_Fadnavis Indeed sir.. just that this time we have displayed our disdain for our constitution, our wildlife laws and probably the whole idea of nature conservation by organising such programmes right in the heart of SGNP.

Trading emissions in the construction sector of Mumbai cannot work because there are no active sites, for infrastructure or private building, which emit below permissible limits. This leaves no-one to trade with @mybmc @CMOMaharashtra - all construction needs stringent regulation

Even if construction is taken as an industry, it is impossible to trade emissions because no players including those who construct infrastructure or privately are currently meeting pollution reducing standards. hence there is no one to trade with. @sumairaabdulali @NDTV_24X7

Trading emissions to reduce air pollution according to "Surat Model" will not work in a city like Mumbai, where most of the pollution comes from construction dust.
