Thane: A large political flex banner installed along the perimeter fence of the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) headquarters collapsed onto a stationary vehicle on Wednesday. No injuries or casualties were reported in the incident.The banner is believed to have come loose before crashing onto the car parked along the footpath drawing attention of the security personnel who alerted rescue workers, who removed the fallen banner and cleared the area.The incident has once again raised questions over the proliferation of unauthorised political banners across the city. Activists questioned how such displays continue to appear despite Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde recently directing authorities to take strict action against the defacement of public property.Meanwhile, TMC officials said they were verifying whether the banner had been installed with the requisite permissions.
