MNS style', the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has now warned shopkeepers that they would be fined Rs 2,000 per employee if they don’t put a marathi sign board by Saturday.
The MNS had put up hoardings in part of the city that they would do ‘MNS style’ agitation on those shops that do not put up the signboards in Marathi by Saturday. The MNS style protest is a MNS warning that they would vandalise and do violence in the shops.
The Mumbai Municipal Corporation has now said that they would begin fining shopkeepers from Monday if they haven’t put up signboards.
November 25 was the deadline issued by the Supreme Court for the shopkeepers to put the Marathis signboards after the Federation of Retail Traders Association had approached the Supreme Court seeking to challenge a state government order of 2022 which had made it mandatory for all shops and establishments in the state to also display Marathi signboards on their shops along with the English signboards or fonts.
