The BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has given relief to shopkeepers and extended the time limit to put up Marathi signboards on shops till September 30. This three months extension was given after the Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association (FRTWA) made a request to BMC administration.
Even after two deadlines, several traders in the city have shown an inability to display the Marathi signboards and demand some more time for it. So, the BMC will now take ward-wise review of the situation and will accordingly take a decision on the extension, said the civic officials.
