Irregularly shaped hoardings, especially those larger than 40×40 feet, will be removed immediately from the boundary of the railway administration, the Mumbai civic body said days after a 250-tonne hoarding fell in Ghatkopar, killing 14 people and injuring around 75. The rescue work at the site is still in progress and several people are suspected to be still buried under the hoarding. Officials said they have recovered two more people.
The Brihanmumbai Corporation does not allow hoardings larger than 40×40 feet in view of Mumbai’s geography. The financial capital of the country is close to the coastline, where high winds can pose a risk.
"However, it has been observed that irregularly sized advertising boards have been installed around the roads/private constructions within the boundary of the railway administration," read the civic body’s notice, sent today to the Central and Western Railways administration.
