Sea Lord Containers Ltd. dated 05/02/2019 regarding air pollution in the outskirts of Mumbai affecting inhabitants of the area, particularly at villages Ambapada and Mahul since 2007 on account of business of logistic services storing oil, gas and chemical items as well as oil companies doing similar activities.
