India: Environmental organisation Earth NGO has filed a public interest litigation petition for the closure of ready-mix concrete plants operated by Dev Infra, JSW Green Cement and Shri Lalit Nagpal in Mumbai’s Chembur and Govandi suburbs. The Free Press Journal newspaper has reported that Earth NGO alleges that the plants are failing to comply with air pollution rules, including by being situated close to residential buildings and a hospital.

The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board previously closed down one of the plants temporarily following protests in 2023. This reportedly led to a decline in pollution levels.
