A Pune Municipal Corporation survey has found 391 hoardings installed without structural audit, with the highest number under the Ahmednagar Road-Wadgaon Sheri areas. Advertising agencies are now required to conduct the audit and submit a report following the collapse of a hoarding in Kiwale last month in which five people died. The civic administration has razed 10 illegal hoardings this week as part of a drive across 15 ward offices, with verification of structural stability ongoing. The PMC has spent around ?4.5 crore ($615,000) on clearing illegal hoardings and collected a fine of ?52.5 lakh.
