Strict action against encroachers must continue," directed Municipal Commissioner Smt. Ashwini Bhide. 🔷The monthly review meeting of various departments of BMC held today at the Command and Control Centre in Worli, where Smt. Bhide gave these directives. 🔷In the first phase of the 'Pedestrian First' campaign, encroachments have been removed from 399 footpaths across 26 administrative wards of BMC in Mumbai. Through this action, roads spanning an impressive 500 kilometers have been made obstacle-free for pedestrians. So far, action has been taken to remove 2,803 encroachments and hawkers. 🔷Municipal Commissioner Smt. Bhide noted that this predominantly includes public places such as hospitals, schools, colleges and railway and bus stations. 🔷To prevent the defacement of the Mumbai metropolis and curb the practice of putting up unauthorized billboards in public places, the BMC has undertaken a comprehensive campaign. 🔷Sm. Bhide highlighted that Mayor of Mumbai Smt. Ritu Tawde has announced a special campaign - 'Shadu Bappa Ten Days - Flex-Free Mumbai 365 Days' and is personally stepping onto the streets to remove illegal flex banners, posters and stickers. 🔷Under the drive, 52,448 banners, flexes and posters have been removed from 1st January to 16th October 2026. 🔷Furthermore, in a special drive implemented over 9 days from 8th to 16th October 2026, 3,537 unauthorized advertising materials were confiscated from across Mumbai. Taking strict action, 4 FIRs have been registered and 333 written complaint letters have been submitted to police stations for legal action under the Maharashtra Prevention of Defacement of Property Act, 1995. "A strict stance should be taken against those violating rules by putting up unauthorized advertisements. The crackdown campaign against unauthorized billboards must continue," directed Mrs. Ashwini Bhide. 🔷During this meeting, a detailed review was conducted on issues including air pollution, Air Quality Index (AQI), effective implementation of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) drafted to curb air pollution and the implementation of the e-office system from 1st December 2026. 🔷Additional Municipal Commissioner (Western Suburbs) Dr. Vipin Sharma, Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Shri.
