Mumbai civic body asks railways to remove 45 billboards
These billboards, the civic body said, exceed the approved size
BMC has asked railway authorities to remove 45 billboards that exceed the approved size.
The municipal body has asked the authorities to conduct a structural audit of 205 hoardings put up on land owned by the Central and Western Railways.
BMC has also started taking action against other illegal billboards in the city in the wake of Monday's crash that killed 14 people. Seventy-four people were injured in the incident that took place during a dust storm.
As per reports, the civic body had found that the company which put up the said billboard had not paid the licence fee and did not have all the required approvals. However, no action had been taken.
Meanwhile, a case has been registered against Bhavesh Bhinde, the owner of Ego Media Private Limited, the company which put up the Ghatkopar hoarding.
