To save the city from ugly, illegal hoardings, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to ban all temporary political-religious billboards across the city. “Civic officials have prepared a new policy to permanently ban all temporary hoardings. People will be allowed to erect hoardings only on the permanent billboard structures in the city. The move will help the civic body generate more revenue, as well as keep the city clean. These illegal hoardings disfigure the city’s skyline and destroy the look of heritage precincts,” said an senior civic official who is working on the new hoarding policy. The BMC’s license department was motivated to push for the policy after chief minister Prithviraj Chavan and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar’s order to remove all illegal hoarding featuring their photographs.
