In a tug of war, the BMC and Railways could not reach a mutual agreement on the size and structural stability of large hoardings. The issue arose during a meeting of the state disaster management committee attended by senior officials from both authorities. A report on the discussion regarding hoardings will be submitted to the Supreme Court.

Following the collapse of a large hoarding in Ghatkopar, which claimed 17 lives, the BMC took a strict stance against hoardings larger than 40 feet by 40 feet. However, during a meeting on Monday, railway officials from both the Western and Central Railways disagreed with the BMC on the hoarding size regulations.
