Mumbai civic body asked to ensure AI, IoT-driven system to track pollution: Devendra Fadnavis

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said the Mumbai civic body has been directed to prepare a dynamic monitoring system based on Internet of Things (IoT) and AI to track sources of air pollution in the city.

Air pollution will not be monitored effectively unless its system is based on IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Fadnavis said in the legislative council.

During the Question Hour, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab raised the issue of air pollution in the Kherwadi area of Bandra in Mumbai. He also pointed out various sources of pollutants, especially the construction of buildings and infrastructure projects.
