The hoardings missing from the streets after BMC exercise
What countless complaints and the High Court could not accomplish, the elections achieved in the city. All BMC wards promptly removed or covered political hoardings within 24 hours. Citizens advocate for a permanent code of conduct, urging the BMC to remove the illegal banners’ permanent iron structures. Despite regular complaints and court directives, the BMC hesitated to address illegal hoardings. However, with the onset of the Lok Sabha election schedule and the enforcement of the code of conduct, BMC officers swiftly took down almost all illegal posters, banners, and hoardings within 48 hours.
“This demonstrates that BMC officials are now taking concrete action, especially during elections, as the rampant spread of illegal hoarding contractors has halted. The honourable Bombay High Court should take note of this deceitful behaviour, revealing the true conduct of officials who misled the judiciary while the city remained defaced by illegal hoardings,” said Trivankuman Karnani, founder of the Mumbai North Central District Forum (MNCDF).
