“For those who don’t have mobile phones, the Mumbai civic body will issue passes in divisional offices,” Thackeray had said.
The process began today at 53 railway stations in BMC jurisdiction and 109 railway stations in the Mumbai metropolitan region. There will be two consecutive sessions from 7 am to 11 pm, said Brihanmumbai Municipal Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal, as per an official release shared by BMC.
The process of making this facility available online is underway, it said.
