Following the Ghatkopar hoarding collapse, which resulted in 14 fatalities, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) sent notifications to the Central and Western Railway authorities. These notices, issued under Section 30 (2) (V) of the Disaster Management Act of 2005, direct railways to remove hoardings larger than 40x40 feet in size.
Given Mumbai`s coastline position and weather conditions, the BMC has decided to limit the size of hoardings to 40x40 feet for increased safety, reported PTI.
