throughout the day. This had caused the air in the area being one of the worst in Mumbai.
However, fortunately many polluting industries were moved out of Mumbai recently and the air
quality has now become slightly better.
- Being an industrial hub and now also a developing residential area, you
must avoid peak rush hours. Moving your household goods in the morning or late evening would
be ideal.
- For a hassle-free house movement, consider taking help from an efficient
and professional packing and moving company, as they can do a planned and smooth movement
for you.
