Parbhani: The Parbhani Municipal Corporation has launched a special drive today aimed at removing unauthorized hoardings from the city. This action comes in the wake of growing concerns over safety, following the recent hoarding collapse incident in Mumbai that led to casualties. The drive began this morning, and by noon, six illegal hoardings were removed from prominent areas such as Wazmat Road and Pathri Road.
The first phase of the operation focuses on removing ground-level hoardings, while the second phase will target hoardings installed on buildings. Authorities have identified 129 unauthorized hoardings in the city, and notices have been issued to the owners to take them down voluntarily. The Municipal Corporation has warned that failure to comply with these orders will result in criminal charges.
The operation is being carried out under the guidance of Parbhani Municipal Commissioner Tripti Sandbhor. The team leading the campaign includes Chief Sanitation Inspector Karan Gaikwad, Shrikant Kura, Nyayratna Ghughe, Kunal Bharsakale, Prahlad Deshmane, and Saurabh Jogdand. They have been actively working to dismantle hoardings along major roads, starting with the Wazmat and Pathri Roads, which are heavily trafficked areas.
The removal of unauthorized hoardings is seen as an important step in ensuring public safety and maintaining the aesthetic quality of the city. The Municipal Corporation has made it clear that if hoarding owners do not comply with the orders, further legal action, including the filing of criminal cases, will be taken.
This drive reflects Parbhani’s commitment to improving urban safety standards and enforcing regulations on public space usage.
