Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Worli MLA Aaditya Thackeray has demanded hoardings should not be propped up on the Coastal Road’s open spaces. BJP Mumbai chief Ashish Shelar, in response, claimed that Thackeray’s (Maha Vikas Aghadi) government did not file an affidavit to ensure there were no such constructions.

After taking to X to share a letter he had written about the issue to civic chief Bhushan Gagrani on Sunday, Thackeray met the latter at the BMC headquarters the following day. During the meeting, he reiterated that no hoarding should be allowed on the Coastal Road’s open spaces as they could cause accidents.
