Shopkeerps have demanded an extension of another six months to put up Marathi signboards. This demand was made during a meeting with BMC officials, on Thursday. The meeting was called to discuss the issues and implementation of the signboards rule. The BMC has already extended the deadline by one month. 

The state government issued a notification for Marathi signboards, which has been opposed by shopkeepers right from the start. The BMC had set a deadline of May 31 which was then extended to June 30 after a discussion with the stakeholders. At a meeting with Additional Commissioner Asheesh Sharma and Deputy Municipal Commissioner Sanjog Kabre, the shopkeepers put forwards their issues.
