On May 13, a giant illegal hoarding in the Mumbai's Ghatkopar area fell on a petrol pump during gusty winds and unseasonal rains, leaving 17 dead so far and over 70 injured.
In the survey conducted by the PCMC, 24 illegal billboard holders, advertisement holders, and premises owners have been booked under Section 336 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 3 of the Maharashtra Prevention of Defacement of Property Act 1995, and Sections 244 and 245 of the Municipal Corporation Act 1888. A case has been registered at the police station.
