Malishka took her Naak Mein Dum campaign to Govandi, where residents have been battling dust pollution caused by Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) plants operating in their neighbourhood. She connected with Advocate Faiyaz Sheikh, a Govandi resident and member of the Govandi Citizen Welfare Forum, to understand the residents' fight against these plants and the impact of continuous cement and concrete dust on their daily lives. The conversation brought attention to the fact that the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board had issued a stop-work notice to these RMC plants back in 2025, yet operations continued despite the earlier directive.
Advocate Faiyaz Sheikh highlighted how residents had to take matters forward by issuing legal notices and demanding the closure of the plants due to worsening air quality and dust pollution. Their collective action helped bring the issue back into focus and eventually contributed to stopping operations at the concerned plants. Malishka used this conversation to highlight the importance of enforcing existing pollution-control orders and ensuring that residents are not forced to fight the same battle repeatedly just to breathe cleaner air
