Now, Aaditya Thackeray brings up Mumbai air pollution with Centre

MUMBAI: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and former Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Saturday wrote to the Centre raising the issue of air pollution in Mumbai. In the letter he mentioned widespread construction activities and lack of effective supervision to control them.
In a letter to Bhupender Yadav, Union minister for environment, forest and climate change, Thackeray also said Maharashtra does not have an independent environment minister to look into the issue.
"In the past 6 months, the air quality in Mumbai has consistently been rated as "Poor" to "Very Poor" on the AQI (air quality index). Other cities in Maharashtra are also posting concerning air quality numbers," he said.
Aaditya also raised the issue of Aarey Metro car shed, a bone of contention between the then CM Uddhav Thackeray led government and the current Eknath Shinde-led government.
