Mumbai's Marathi Signboard Drive Stalls Due to Staff Shortages

In Mumbai, there was a rule that all shops and businesses had to put up signs in the local language, Marathi.

The city government gave them two months to do this.

However, after two months, only a small number of shops were checked, and very few were found not following the rule.

The main reason for this slow progress is that there aren't enough inspectors to check all the shops.

Many of the inspectors are busy with other important tasks like counting people for the census and updating voter lists.

So, the plan to make sure all shops have Marathi signs is moving very slowly.
