Nearly two months after the state government amended the Maharashtra Shops and Establishment Act mandating shops in the state to display signboards in Marathi, the BMC will start taking action, from May 15, against those who fail to implement it. The civic corporation will also act against liquor shops and bars named after gods and goddesses, saints, national heroes and forts.
The BMC had brought out a circular on the amended Act in the first week of April. It says the letters in Marathi – Devanagari script in shop signboards cannot be kept smaller than the letters in other scripts. There are 5.08 lakh shops and establishments registered with BMC.
