Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray has sought Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis's intervention against "floating hoardings" in Mumbai's sea. Aaditya Thackeray called the decision to permit them as highly irresponsible and warned that it would ruin the city's aesthetics.
While drafting a letter, a copy of which he shared on social media platform X on Thursday, Thackeray said that unabated pollution and the lack of serious action to curb it had made the sea barely visible from most parts of the city, even from a short distance inland.
