This initiative comes in response to the tragic Ghatkopar incident and directives from Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to eliminate illegal hoardings across Mumbai.\n\nFollowing the Chief Minister's directive to dismantle all unauthorized hoardings, MHADA's Vice President and CEO, Sanjeev Jaiswal, conducted a thorough review and survey of hoardings on MHADA properties. The survey identified that out of 62 hoardings, 60 were installed without the necessary No Objection Certificate (NOC) from MHADA.
