Around 200 societies that come under a 500-metre radius of an Army wireless transmission station in Juhu will boycott the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election. Their members, in a meeting on December 7, decided not to exercise their franchise because the government is not allowing them to redevelop their societies.

On June 19, 1976, a notification, SRO-150, was issued, restricting the height of buildings in the zone to 15.24 metres or 50 feet and making mandatory a no-objection certificate from the defence ministry for redevelopment.
