MUMBAI: Actress Soni Razdan, who is the mother of Bollywood star Alia Bhatt, has called for urgent seasonal measures to tackle Mumbai’s deteriorating air quality, saying winter conditions demand a different plan to keep the city’s smog in check.
Soni on Friday took to Instagram, where she shared a news article about Mumbai facing its “toughest winter air phase in years.” In a strongly worded appeal, the actress pointed out that land and sea breezes weaken during the colder months, trapping pollutants close to the ground.
She wrote: “The land and Sea breezes are affected in winter, which is one of the reasons why we always get the smog hanging in the air.”
