Soon you can recognise BMC wards by their assigned individual colours

Soon all the 15 wards of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will have a seeprate colours attached to them. As a part of its beautification initiative, BMC will identify an important chowk  within every ward and later revamp the identified spots.

In order to revamp major roads in every ward, the municipal corporation along with Collector's Office has drafted a special plan. The idea behind allocating a unique colour to every ward is to help the citizens easily understand and identify which ward they are in.

Currently, there are various major roads in Mumbai that consist of garbage thrown at either sides, wires hanging from electric poles, along with cars parked at the sides of the roads. Due to the parking issue, the citizens also face traffic jams at these routes.
