As air quality in the city continues to deteriorate, residents are set to hold a peaceful protest in Vashi this Saturday, demanding immediate intervention from authorities to address what they describe as a growing health emergency.

The demonstration will take place at Mini Seashore, Sector 10A, from 7:00 am to 9:00 am on 20 December.

Organisers say the protest aims to send a clear message to the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC). “We cannot stay silent while our air becomes unbreathable. Clean air is not a luxury — it’s our basic right,” said one of the citizen coordinators.

As part of the protest, residents will also submit an Immediate Action Plan to NMMC, outlining actionable steps for reducing air pollution across the city. “We are demanding accountability, transparency, and urgent on-ground measures. Navi Mumbai’s future depends on what happens now,” an organiser added.

Citizens have also launched an online petition urging the government to prioritise air quality. “We need every voice. When the public stands together, the system is forced to pay attention,” the group stated.

Residents are encouraged to join the protest with their friends and families. The organisers noted, “Bring your courage, bring your concern — because clean air is non-negotiable.”
