Summary
- Soni Razdan highlighted winter's impact on Mumbai's air quality.
- She stressed the need for seasonal, not year-round, pollution measures.

Mumbai is facing a severe winter air quality challenge, prompting actress Soni Razdan to call for urgent, seasonally-specific measures. Razdan highlighted that weaker land and sea breezes during winter trap pollutants, significantly worsening the smog compared to other seasons.
She argued that a one-size-fits-all approach to pollution control is ineffective, as winter conditions necessitate a distinct strategy. Razdan specifically criticized the increasing trend of unregulated construction and the allowance of longer working hours for such projects.
Razdan urged authorities, including the BMC, and citizens to address the escalating issue proactively. She believes that inaction and public apathy could have dire consequences for the city's health and well-being.
