The invite mentioned the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Tourism Minister Jaykumar Rawal and others, who however, did not turn up for the event.
The Procam International Pvt Ltd has landed into trouble on Thursday again when the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) did not permit them to organise the inaugural ceremony of the Powerboat racing (also known as P1 racing) at Gateway of India, Mumbai.
The invite mentioned the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Tourism Minister Jaykumar Rawal and others, who however, did not turn up for the event.
This is the second time the Procam International has had a tussle with the BMC. Last month on 14 January, BMC had given a notice to Procam International for not paying advertisement fees of Rs 5 crore for the Mumbai Marathon to the civic body.
The event on Friday was organised despite BMC not giving its permission. The invitation for the ceremony was sent to many people who had come to Gateway of India to attend the inauguration of the Nexa P1 Power Boat, which was to make its debut in India for the power boat race which has been scheduled in the first week of March.
BMC’s A ward officer Kiran Dighavkar told DNA, “The organisers have not yet paid the dues for the marathon. They have to still pay Rs 2.75 crores to us as advertisement fees. When they applied for permission for todays’s event, it was not granted.”
BMC cranes landed at Gateway of India on Thursday evening and immediately the people from Procam International started moving the tables, chairs and other equipment, creating a chaos at the spot.
Procam has now announced that they are not cancelling the event but conducting it in the Regal Hall of Trident at Nariman Point.
Procam International in a press note said that they are disappointed with the BMC’s actions and intend to strongly take up this matter at the highest level.
