Mumbai's civic administration removed over 7,600 illegal political hoardings, banners, posters, and flags across all 24 wards between December 15, 2025, and January 1, 2026, following the enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct for the upcoming BMC elections. While the drive targeted unauthorized displays on government and private properties, no cases have been registered against violators. Officials stated the enforcement will continue, noting a typical annual removal of 15,000-20,000 illegal hoardings, with a surge during elections and festivals.
