Outreach Campaign to Continue Across Parks in Bandra

The demonstration and citizen outreach will continue for next three days at Patwardhan Park and Almeida Park. Citizens will be encouraged to write postcards to the Chief Minister on clean air, sign an online petition demanding time-bound action on Mumbai's AQI levels and share short video messages on how air pollution is affecting their daily lives.

Shaikh who led the massive Human Chain- a silent protest against deteriorating Air Quality Index (AQI) of Mumbai last month said, \"Mumbai's air pollution is no longer an environmental concern-it is a public health emergency. Children are falling sick, senior citizens are struggling to breathe, and yet we are expected to accept toxic air as normal. This initiative began because citizens cannot wait any longer. Clean air is a basic right, and the government must act with urgency, transparency, and accountability.\"
