Following the Ghatkopar hoarding collapse, which killed 14 people and injured several others, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya expressed worry over how authorisation for the billboard was issued by a police officer rather than the city`s civic body, the BMC.
Speaking to reporters, Somaiya stated that licences for the billboard and the neighbouring petrol pump were granted during Uddhav Thackeray`s stint as Maharashtra chief minister. He claimed that stricter control by the then-Director General of Police could have avoided similar instances, reported PTI.
