Mumbai doesn't have a shortage of rules. It has a shortage of follow-through. Here's the pattern nobody says out loud. In Mumbai, the courtroom has become the pollution control board, and citizens have become its inspectors. • Air monitors at construction sites don't match CPCB's own SAMEER app. Now the monitors need monitoring. • Even public notices waited for a judge's reminder. • Citizens measured 110.8 dB on immersion day, not the authorities. • Light orders from 1998 and 2018 are still ignored. Next up: billboards on the sea. • A 2013 dumping ground case still awaits compliance, and the PoP phase-out may slip by three more years. With this impromptu system, implementation lags for decades. Every fix arrives only after someone drags the problem before a judge. That isn't a system. It's a rescue mission, every single time. @CMOMaharashtra @mybmc @mpcb_official @htTweets @karunaaa__
