As per the Bombay High Court’s directive, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officers have been deployed to inspect the sizes of hoardings across the city, with a report due within a week. The teams will also check if digital hoardings remain illuminated after 11 pm and whether they display QR codes.
Following the Ghatkopar billboard collapse, concerns over oversized and illegal hoardings have resurfaced. A meeting convened at Mantralaya’s office of the additional chief secretary (home) on Wednesday reviewed the status of unauthorised hoardings, posters and boards in compliance with the high court’s decision.
