Ghatkopar horror: BMC earns whopping Rs 100 crore from licensing

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) claims Mumbai has only 1,025 legally authorized hoardings, contributing to its substantial revenue of Rs 100 crore. However, the recent tragic incident involving an illegal hoarding collapse raises questions about the accuracy of this figure. With 16 lives lost, there’s a pressing need to reassess the total number of hoardings in Mumbai for safety and regulatory purposes.
