3. MY REGION: POWAI
Mumbai, the city of dreams, has gazillions of inspiring
and awakening features and
two of them are graffiti and billboards. Some graffiti
and billboards are also found in and around Powai.
While some are extremely eye pleasing, others are
abhorring to look at. The members of our group were
inspired by this side of Mumbai and these pieces of
art made an interesting topic for survey.

14. Visually pleasing or visually polluting?
Interview and Research Survey: 2
The billboards in our area are outside the S.
M. Shetty International School and Junior
College.
On interviewing the Principal of the school, it
was found that they find the billboards are
visually pleasing and promotes the school
and its activities well enough. While on the
other hand, the general public feels that
they are visually polluting the region and
the area looks congested and unpleasant
because of them.
15. No, the authorities are not taking any
action for this. There are some sites
where action is being taken. Some
billboards have been removed from
some areas, but in some places the
owners are not interested in taking any
action and prefer to remain indifferent.
This is the reason why we still have illegal
billboards and graffiti in our region.
