After 14 people were killed and several injured due to a big hoarding collapse in the Ghatkopar area, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has ordered to pull down hoardings which are put up without permission in the city.
“After this incident, BMC has issued a notice that wherever hoardings are put up without BMC permission, to take action on it. CM also ordered action accordingly,” said Bhushan Gagrani, BMC commissioner.
A giant hoarding that fell in Mumbai’s Ghatkopar area after Monday’s dust storm was constructed without the permission of the civic body. At least 14 people were killed and over 60 injured after the hoarding fell on a petrol pump along the Eastern Express Highway in Pant Nagar.
The hoarding measured about 17,040 square feet and was mentioned in the Limca Book of Records as the largest hoarding.
