@mybmc @AshwiniBhide @mybmcSWM SWD & SWM Depts Severe illegal encroachment and dangerous narrowing of Storm Water Drain (Nala) at Thakur Village, Kandivali (E) Brazen illegal construction is underway at Phase 1, Thakur Village, Kandivali (East) at the Evershine / Bredco project site (near Evershine Millennium Paradise / Gaurav Shikhar): Demolition of Nala Wall: The original retaining wall of the public nala has been broken down. Illegal Channel Encroachment: Concrete shuttering and steel rebar cages have been laid several feet deep inside the water channel, choking the drain width by half. Flood Hazard: This unauthorized reduction of storm water carrying capacity directly jeopardizes the entire neighborhood with severe monsoon waterlogging and flooding. 📍 Geo-Coordinates: 19.210121° N, 72.877346° E 📍 Location: Phase 1, Thakur Village, Kandivali (E), Mumbai – 400101 We demand: Immediate stop-work order and inspection by R/South Ward SWD/Building Proposal staff.

A heartbreaking incident at Evershine, adjacent to Jain Temple in Thakur Village Kandivali East. Three shops and 7–8 flats above them have reportedly been destroyed by fire, leaving innocent families homeless. Who will take responsibility? Why are roadside firecracker stalls allowed without strict safety checks by local police and BMC? The Bombay High Court has issued clear directions regarding roadside stalls and prohibited bursting firecrackers on public streets. @DcpZone12Mumbai @MumbaiPolice @mybmc @CPMumbaiPolice @SamtaNagarPS Demand an immediate inquiry into the fire, verification of firecracker stall permissions, accountability of responsible officials and removal of unauthorised and unsafe stalls. Public safety cannot be compromised through administrative negligence.

The Supreme Court has clearly declared that Municipal Corporations have a DUTY to safeguard footpaths and pedestrian infrastructure. @mybmc @AshwiniBhide @mayor_mumbai A dangerously tilted, electrically illuminated digital hoarding on a public footpath at Western Express Highway between Andheri and Jogeshwari is a serious public-safety concern. Will BMC uphold the Supreme Court’s directions, or wait for an innocent pedestrian to become a victim? REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY. FIX ACCOUNTABILITY. PROTECT PUBLIC LIFE.

The Supreme Court has issued notice to BMC Commissioner Ashwini Bhide over failure to comply with its directions in the Borivali encroachment matter. Will BMC now answer for the massive illuminated @CaratLane CaratLane building-wrap advertisement at Anand Nagar, Vakola? BMC Outdoor Advertisement Policy 2025: • Item 6 under “What’s New” requires a Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) NOC for illuminated/digital hoardings; without it, permission for illumination cannot be granted or renewed. • Clauses 3.1 and 3.4 require written permission and compliance with the approved advertisement. • Unauthorised displays attract action under Sections 328/328A read with 471 of the MMC Act. @mybmc @CMOMaharashtra @AUThackeray @AshwiniBhide @MumbaiPolice @SardesaiVarun Demand: Verify the Traffic Police NOC, electrical and structural safety, and approved lighting arrangements. Immediately disconnect the lights and remove the installation if found unsafe or non-compliant. Conduct an inquiry into DMC (Special) Mr. Vispute and Superintendent of Licence Mr. Kate. Do not wait for a public-safety disaster. Accountability must come before advertising revenue. #PublicSafety

SUPREME COURT DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY FROM BMC — BUT WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS HOARDING? As reported by The Times of India, the Supreme Court has stopped the BMC Commissioner’s salary over non-compliance concerning encroachments and issued a contempt notice. Meanwhile, a massive 40 × 40 ft digital hoarding at the BKC Bridge Connector, Bandra, stands alarmingly close to the carriageway. Who approved this location? Was a proper site inspection conducted? Were road-safety clearances and structural stability verified? @mybmc @MumbaiPolice @CMOMaharashtra @AshwiniBhide @richapintoi We demand immediate inspection, disclosure of all permissions and accountability of the officers who approved this site. If public safety is compromised, who will take responsibility for the consequences? No more excuses. Accountability must be enforced! #BMC #RoadSafety #DigitalHoarding #Bandra #PublicSafety

The Supreme Court’s action against BMC officials raises a pertinent question: Where is accountability? At Teachers Colony, Bandra (East), the digital LED hoarding reportedly continues operating despite revocation of BMC & Traffic Police NOCs and the City Civil Court dismissing the advertiser’s Notice of Motion. Who is allowing this to continue? We demand @MSRDC_official @MSRDCLtd immediate disconnection and removal, action against those responsible, and a written BMC Action Taken Report within 48 hours, specifying enforcement steps, accountable officers and a firm removal deadline. Court orders and revoked permissions cannot be ignored. Public safety over commercial interests! @mybmc @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice @MTPHereToHelp @AshwiniBhide @richapintoi #Mumbai #BMC #Accountability

48-HOUR DEADLINE: BMC MUST ENFORCE ITS REJECTION ORDER – LED HOARDING STILL OPERATIONAL IN POWAI! @mybmc @AshwiniBhide @CMOMaharashtra @MTPHereToHelp A 30’ × 30’ LED advertising hoarding belonging to M/s. Skylite Advertising (Permit No. 790832243) at Tej Co-operative HSG Society, Plot No. 101, JVLR, Powai, continues to display advertisements despite BMC’s Rejection Order No. DMC/Spl/Rejection 25-26/488 dated 03.09.2026. More seriously, BMC’s own official correspondence dated 18.09.2026 records that the advertiser sought a review instead of filing an appeal and had not paid the prescribed appeal fee. A review request cannot automatically be treated as a stay of the rejection order. BMC must clarify whether any competent authority has subsequently stayed, modified or set aside that order. Under Sections 328 and 328A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, outdoor advertisements are subject to statutory regulation and the applicable municipal permissions. @WelspunWorld @welspun_group hereby demand the following within 48 HOURS of this public complaint: Conduct an immediate site inspection and verify the current validity of the hoarding permission. Confirm in writing whether any valid permission or judicial/administrative stay currently authorises the continued display. If no valid authority exists, immediately initiate enforcement action in accordance with law, including stoppage of the display and removal of the structure wherever legally warranted. Examine the complete file, noting sheets and subsequent correspondence to establish how the hoarding continues to operate after rejection. Fix accountability for any established administrative lapse and provide a written Action Taken Report. THE KEY QUESTION TO BMC: If permission has been rejected, under what legal authority is this LED hoarding continuing to display commercial advertisements? A rejection order must not become ineffective through administrative inaction. 48 HOURS FOR A FORMAL RESPONSE AND ENFORCEMENT ACTION. #BMC #MCGM #Mumbai #Powai #JVLR #IllegalHoarding #LEDHoarding #SkyliteAdvertising #Transparency #Accountability

@MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice @AddlCPNorthMum @NishaParulekar Urgent attention required! Please take strict action against shops and roadside vendors selling firecrackers without valid licences or storing them openly on public roads. This poses a serious fire and public safety risk. @SamtaNagarPS Kindly conduct immediate inspections in Thakur Village Kandivali East Mumbai, seize illegal stock and take legal action against violators. Also, please provide a safe and official channel for citizens to submit photos/videos and report such violations without putting themselves at risk. Public safety must come first!

When contractors are reportedly demanding clearance of ₹86,000 CRORE in pending dues, how can newspaper birthday advertisements for a senior MSRDC official be justified? @MSRDC_official @MSRDCLtd MSRDC must publicly disclose: Who placed and paid for these birthday advertisements? Which contractors or agencies funded them? What was the total expenditure? Were these advertisements officially authorised by MSRDC or any government department? Was any public money or government-linked resource involved? We demand an official, written disclosure from MSRDC, along with copies of the bills, payment records and approval documents. At a time when contractors are awaiting ₹86,000 crore in pending payments, transparency and accountability cannot be compromised. MSRDC must answer. Public money demands public accountability! #MSRDC #Maharashtra #Transparency #Accountability #PublicMoney

@mybmc @mybmcWardHE @AshwiniBhide A massive illuminated @CaratLane CARATLANE commercial hoarding has been installed on an under-construction site near Western Express Highway, Bandra East. Violation of Sections 328A and 471 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, and applicable BMC Outdoor Advertisement Policy provisions, must be investigated. Demand immediate inspection, verification of municipal permissions and structural safety certificates, and removal of the hoarding if found unauthorised. Who permitted this commercial exploitation of an under-construction site? BMC must act immediately! @CaratLane No commercial exploitation of under-construction structures at the cost of public safety! #IllegalHoardings #BandraEast #BMC #PublicSafety #Mumbai

COURT REJECTS INJUNCTION PLEA — WHY ARE BANDRA’S TEACHERS COLONY LED HOARDINGS STILL OPERATING? On 26 October 2026, the Dindoshi City Civil Court dismissed Proactive In & Out Advertising Pvt. Ltd.’s Notice of Motion seeking an injunction against enforcement action concerning the LED hoardings at Teachers Colony, Bandra (East). The Court recorded public-safety concerns, noted the revocation of the Traffic Police NOC, and observed that the advertiser had not challenged BMC’s letter dated 19 June 2026 directing advertisements to stop and the iron structures to be removed. Yet, photographs dated 29 October 2026 show the LED displays operating. OUR SPECIFIC DEMANDS TO BMC @mybmc @AshwiniBhide & @MTPHereToHelp @MumbaiPolice MUMBAI TRAFFIC POLICE: Immediately inspect the site and record the continued operation of all three displays. Enforce the applicable stop-display directions and take lawful steps to remove the structures, subject to any operative court order. Explain the delay and publish an Action Taken Report identifying the action taken and the responsible authorities. A DIRECT QUESTION TO @GeminiApp GOOGLE GEMINI, @reliancejio JIO AND @applepay APPLE PAY: Are your advertisements being displayed on these LED structures? If so, what due diligence was undertaken to verify the legality of the advertising sites before using them? Reputed brands deserve transparency. Public safety and compliance with the law must come first. Who will take responsibility? @mybmc @MumbaiPolice @CMOMaharashtra @mayor_mumbai #BandraEast #GoogleGemini #Jio #ApplePay #PublicSafety #mumbainews

Despite repeated complaints, these advertising gantries over busy roads in Powai–Vikhroli remain in place. Are BMC S Ward officials waiting for a major accident before taking action? ⚠️ Public safety cannot be compromised. Inspect, verify permissions and remove all unauthorised structures immediately. Advertisers and companies: @SujataAppliances @RunwalOfficial and all other brands advertising on these structures must verify their legality and stop using unauthorised hoardings. @mybmc @AshwiniBhide @mybmcWardS @VarshaEGaikwad Please act NOW, before a tragedy occurs! #BMC #Mumbai #IllegalHoardings #PublicSafety #Powai #Vikhroli

URGENT ACTION REQUIRED – REJECTED LED HOARDING STILL STANDING @mybmc @AshwiniBhide @CMOMaharashtra These photographs show the 30’ × 30’ LED hoarding at Tej Co-op HSG Society, Plot No.101, JVLR, Powai, relating to Permit No. 790832243 – M/s. Skylite Advertising. BMC issued Rejection Order No. DMC/Spl/Rejection 25-26/488 dated 03/09/2026. BMC’s own record dated 18/09/2026 states that the advertiser sought “review” instead of appeal and had not paid the prescribed fee. Yet the hoarding structure remains standing. What is the legal authority permitting its continuation after rejection? BMC’s 2025 Advertisement Policy requires written permission for display of hoardings and provides for action where advertisements are displayed without permission or in contravention of the guidelines. I request the Municipal Commissioner and CMO Maharashtra to immediately: 🔴 Verify the present legal status of the hoarding 🔴 Stop/disable any unauthorised display, if found 🔴 Examine the complete file and noting sheets 🔴 Investigate the apparent delay/non-action by concerned officers 🔴 Take appropriate action if any officer or advertiser is found to have violated the law 🔴 Provide an Action Taken Report No rejected permission should be allowed to continue contrary to law. Transparency and equal enforcement are essential. #BMC #MCGM #Mumbai #LEDHoarding #Hoarding #RTI #Transparency #SkyliteAdvertising #Powai #JVLR #CMOMaharashtra BMC’s own website confirms that hoarding advertisements are regulated under Sections 328 and 328A of the MMC Act, while its 2025 policy states that display requires written permission from the Commissioner or authorised officer.

@mybmc @AshwiniBhide @mybmcWardRC @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice BMC’s own Stop Work Notice dated 28.09.2026 clearly directs the advertiser to stop all work at site until extension is granted by the competent authority. Despite this, why is work allegedly continuing at the site? Why have BMC officials and local police not taken immediate enforcement action against the concerned society/advertising agency? Please conduct an urgent site inspection, stop the work immediately, and initiate action for any violation of the written direction. Public safety and rule of law must be enforced equally. #BMC #MumbaiPolice #Borivali #Kulupwadi #Hoarding #PublicSafety

@mybmcWardRC @mybmc @AshwiniBhide @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice Urgent intervention requested at Shree Mangalam CHS, Kulupwadi Road, Borivali East. Despite BMC’s letter dated 24.06.2026 regarding a proposed 40’×40’ LED hoarding, erection/construction work is continuing, reportedly throughout the night. Please immediately stop the work, inspect the site, verify all permissions and structural/safety compliances, and take action if any violation is found. I also request an independent inquiry into the conduct of concerned officials, including BMC License Officer Mr. Javle, and whether any undue favour or improper consideration has influenced enforcement. CCTV/site records and inspection records may kindly be preserved and examined. Transparency and public safety cannot be compromised. #BMC #Mumbai #Hoarding #Borivali #Kulupwadi #PublicSafety BMC’s 2025 outdoor-advertisement policy states that advertisement permission does not automatically legitimise or regularise the underlying structure, and hoardings require compliance with applicable permissions and rules.
