The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) on Tuesday launched a special campaign to remove posters, banners, and illegal signboards across the city. Accordingly, all the posters, banners, and signboards that were dangerously placed on road dividers, pedestrian paths, and trees were taken off.

The civic corporation said that 665 unauthorised posters and banners were taken down within a single day from its jurisdiction under the drive, which was carried out under the instructions of Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao.
