Juhi Chawla Highlights Burnt-Fuel Smell Amid Rising Air Pollution in Mumbai
Actress Juhi Chawla has raised concerns about a persistent burnt-fuel smell in Mumbai's air, describing it as similar to kerosene or diesel. This comes amid worsening air quality following Diwali celebrations, with Mumbai's AQI reaching 171 on November 9, a 28% increase from last year. Firecracker emissions are identified as a major pollution source, prompting the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to ban rockets and aerial firecrackers until November 25. Health experts warn of respiratory and cardiovascular risks, especially for children and seniors.
