Mumbai: These days the condition of Mumbai is bad due to pollution and traffic. The level of dust particles in the city is increasing due to cementation of roads, metro project, coastal road project and other construction works. On the other hand, due to the closure of dilapidated hundred-year-old bridges for reconstruction, the traffic situation is getting worse. However, the situation does not seem to be improving in the near future as more overpasses in South Mumbai are set to collapse.
