Navi Mumbai has been blanketed in a choking layer of smog over the past few nights, leaving residents gasping for breath and demanding urgent action. From Vashi and Kopar Khairane to Ghansoli and Sanpada, citizens have reported strong chemical odours and dense smoke believed to be drifting in from nearby industrial zones.

“See how much smoke has come here… there is a very bad smell as well. I think it is sulphur dioxide,” said Prof. Vinay Kumar Singh, a resident of Sector 26, while recording a video early on October 16. Speaking from Chintamani Chowk, he pointed to the haze covering the roads and warned, “It should not happen that something like the Bhopal gas tragedy happens here.”
