Maharashtra Pollution Control Board

The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board operates out of Kalpataru Point. We’re on the 3rd floor, right on Sion-Matunga Scheme Road No.8. It’s easy to find because we’re right opposite Sion Circle in Sion East. The office is usually humming with the sound of computers and people talking. Since we deal with environmental stuff, there are always reports and files piled up on everyone's desks. It can get pretty hectic, especially when there are a lot of applications to go through. We don't have a fancy setup. It's a lot of government-style desks and filing cabinets. The area around Sion Circle is always packed with traffic, so it’s never quiet outside. We spend our days looking at data and making sure people are following the rules. It’s not always exciting work, but it’s what we do. Sometimes the coffee machine breaks down and everyone gets a bit grumpy, but we manage. We aren't here to give fancy speeches or do a lot of marketing. We’re just a group of people working in an office trying to keep things in order. It’s a lot of paperwork and phone calls. People come in and out all day with questions about permits and regulations. We just try to get through the pile of work on our desks and help whoever walks through the door. The walk from the station isn't too long if you're taking the train.
