After the controversy over the display of lingerie on mannequins hit the BMC yet again last week, a decision to act against illegal street vendors displaying it was taken. The Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association (FRTWA) has, however, complained to BMC Commissioner Pravin Pardeshi regarding BMC officials entering licensed shops and asking them to remove the display.

On Saturday, an Inspector of Shops and Establishment of BMC's G North ward visited some shops in Dadar West instructing them to remove mannequins with lingerie on display. The shopkeepers thus demanded answers to whether there was a law regarding such checks and alleged that the BMC officials were harassing shop keepers.
