The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) seems to be in no mood to learn from its past mistakes. In fact, it has gone ahead and flouted the Bombay High Court's 2012 ruling by allowing advertisements to be put up on the public toilet connected to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) railway station, which is a World Heritage Structure. It might be recalled that in 2012, the Bombay HC had ordered the civic body that it should strictly follow the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee's (MHCC) guidelines and pull down hoardings and neon signs from the city's heritage structures.
