  "summary": "The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has introduced stricter air pollution mitigation measures for construction projects in Mumbai, making developers and architects accountable for compliance. The new conditions, introduced through a circular issued on September 2, require developers to provide a registered undertaking, making them liable for any violations and facing penalties such as suspension of licenses and revocation of development permissions. This move follows directions issued by the High Power Committee and the Bombay High Court's suo motu PIL concerning air pollution in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.",
