Mumbai, June 4: The BMC on Wednesday removed the Gujarati name boards installed at Malabar Hill after the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) complained to the local police and the BMC.
"The boards were illegally installed by the Derasar. After we complained to the police and the BMC, the BMC told the concerned people that if the Gujarati boards are not removed, they will be removed by the civic body itself. Accordingly, on Wednesday morning, the boards were removed," said corporator Yashwant Killedar, MNS group leader in the BMC.
MNS objects to Gujarati boards
The MNS has complained that boards in Gujarati or Jain language were installed from municipal funds at Dungarsi Road, Swatantra Sainik S M Joshi Kridangan and Acharya Vijay Omkar Surishwar Ji Maharaj Chowk, near Elizabeth Hospital, in Malabar Hill.
