Will stop BMC chief’s salary if AQI doesn’t improve: Bombay HC

Bombay High Court has sternly criticized the BMC for its lax approach to Mumbai’s pollution control, threatening to withhold the municipal commissioner’s salary. Judges noted a lack of sincere effort and a “belligerent disregard” for court orders, particularly regarding Navi Mumbai’s affidavit. This strong stance signals a potential financial penalty for non-compliance.
