In the wake of a mid-day report highlighting the presence of illegal posters on pillars of the under-construction Metro Line 6 near the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B) in Powai, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has swung into action.

“We have removed stickers and posters that were illegally pasted on pillars of Metro Line 6 near IIT-B. We would like to appeal to the people to avoid pasting any kind of posters or stickers on the pillars of the under-construction line,” said an MMRDA official, requesting anonymity. The Metro line will connect Swami Samarth Nagar at Lokhandwala Complex in Andheri West to Vikhroli.
