Mumbai's air quality has become a critical concern, prompting Bollywood singer Armaan Malik to publicly appeal for action from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). On December 12, the city's Air Quality Index (AQI) surpassed 150, largely due to dust and smog, pushing the air into an unhealthy category. This worrying trend has led to a noticeable increase in illnesses across various age groups, which Malik attributes to pollution rather than seasonal fluctuations.
Taking to social media, Malik expressed his deep concern, noting that the city's air feels 'heavier' daily and that widespread coughing and respiratory struggles are evident among residents. He directly addressed the BMC, imploring them to devise a strategic plan to combat the escalating pollution crisis. Malik stressed that the health and well-being of all Mumbaikars, including BMC employees and their families, are at stake.
