At last, our consistent complaints about illegal hoardings across the city, particularly in Chandivali and Powai, have caught the attention of @TawdeRitu Madam. Thank you, Madam!

Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde has called for a citywide campaign against unauthorised flex banners, posters and advertisements.

The Mayor has written to BMC Commissioner @AshwiniBhide seeking immediate and strict action against the illegal banner issue.

She has called for strict compliance with High Court orders and zero tolerance, without any political discrimination.

The letter says political, social and commercial organisations should all be treated equally.

She has also proposed that seized PVC flexes and banners be scientifically processed through the BMC's Solid Waste Management Department and recycled, to ensure they do not return to the streets or clog drains.

All complaints regarding unauthorised flexes, banners, posters and stickers should be acted upon within a maximum of 72 hours, with a report provided to the complainant.

The proposed system will also make QR codes, permission numbers, validity period and printer/agency details mandatory on authorised banners, allowing citizens and civic officials to verify permissions.

Repeat offenders, including printers, contractors and agencies, could also be blacklisted.

The Mayor has proposed the campaign under the slogan: “Shadu Bappa for 10 days, Flex Free Mumbai for 365 days.”

@mybmcWardL Seriously? On Dmart circle, Hirananadani Gardens, Powai. @mybmcWardS should be looking into this. And you should drive on Chandivali farm road… lots of ugly hoardings…

[My Powai @mypowai]

As expected, one festival hoarding replaces another. The cycle continues, while @mybmc appears to turn a blind eye. Can residents know who is responsible for instructing @mybmcWardL and @mybmcWardS not to take action against these unauthorised hoardings? @vandemahatram

@RatanSharda55 Exactly! In what capacity are they entering schools? I think the schools are being very lenient with these guys. Keep cockroaches away. They can spread diseases

This is awful! Are we as a society backing the wrong? @iitbombay is the gold standard of education. The narrative of the professor being harsh towards the student should be investigated by the law of the country. Dismissing him without a fair trial is setting a wrong precedent.

[Swati Chaturvedi @bainjal]

This broken helpless man is the director of Bombay IIT by all accounts a v decent & kind man. He’s quit because a student under his watch was caught cheating & later committed suicide
