BMC removes hoardings with Fadnavis, Shinde’s caricatures
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) removed several hoardings in Dharavi that had caricatures of the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister.
These hoardings were put up by groups opposing the Dharavi Redevelopment Project and advertising a public meeting on December 7.
The BMC said the caricatures were insulting to the CM's post.
The organizers plan to hold the meeting as scheduled despite the removal of the hoardings.
