Hoarding policy will give a new look to the city

By Dinesh Kamath

BELAPUR: The administration of he Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) is waiting for the hoarding policy to get cleared by the urban development department of the state.

In NMMC’s 2013-14 budget, it is proposed that Rs 35 crore would be allocated for obtaining of license to put up hoardings in the city. 

NMMC officials have come up with a hoarding policy which is expected to get approved by the state government this year. The NMMC was able to identify the places where banners and hoardings could be put up during 2011. Now if the hoarding policy is cleared, the banners and hoardings in the city will stop coming up at the unwanted places. This will give a new look to the city.
