Shops, hotels in Mumbai must install Marathi signboards or face 'Sena-style' action: Dy Mayor

MUMBAI: (May 14) Mumbai Deputy Mayor Sanjay Ghadi has asked shops and other establishments, including five-star hotels and celebrity-owned outlets, to prominently display signboards in Marathi within a month and warned of a "Shiv Sena-style" response if the directive was not followed.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting with officials of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) shops and establishments department on Wednesday, Ghadi insisted Marathi signboards in Devanagari script were mandatory as per Supreme Court directives.

Strict action would be initiated against violators, the Shiv Sena corporator said.
