Bollywood actress and eco-warrior Dia Mirza took to her social media to share a powerful message about the deteriorating air quality in Mumbai. In a video posted on her profile, Dia is seen driving through the city, and as she gazes out of her car window, the visibility is drastically reduced, with the skyline and distant objects obscured by thick smog.
Captioning the post, Dia highlighted the alarming Air Quality Index (AQI) of 184, which is classified as "Unhealthy," urging her followers to recognize the environmental crisis. She wrote, "Air Quality Index 184 – Unhealthy. Major contributors currently: Building Construction Dust, Dust from Infrastructure Work on Roads, Dust on roads from construction materials and debris, Waste burning. @mybmc @mpcb_official have made protocols but unfortunately, the implementation gaps are WIDE."
In the video, Dia Mirza’s concerned tone reflects the urgency of the situation. She calls out the multiple sources of pollution, including construction dust, waste burning, and ongoing infrastructure projects, which contribute significantly to the hazardous air quality in the city. Despite the protocols and regulations set by local authorities such as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), Dia emphasizes the critical gap between policy and implementation that continues to affect public health and the environment.
Dia, known for her passionate advocacy for environmental issues, has been vocal about the need for stronger action and better enforcement of environmental policies. Her post serves as a reminder of the everyday challenges faced by millions of residents in urban centers like Mumbai, where pollution not only affects the quality of life but also poses long-term health risks.
By sharing this poignant message, Dia aims to encourage people to think more deeply about the impact of pollution on their health and the environment, and to push for tangible actions that can improve the air quality for future generations.
