The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has demolished 69 hoardings and 63 pedestals that are used to install the hoardings in Andheri over Monday and Tuesday.
During a drive, the Andheri (West) ward office found that many people had installed unauthorised poles and pedestals to put up hoardings, posters, or banners in Juhu, Andheri, Jogeshwari and Vile Parle. “These unauthorised poles were hindering pedestrians’ movement. We will also recover the demolition cost from the people concerned,” Prashant Gaikwad, assistant municipal commissioner, K West ward, said.
