Jagrut Nagrik Manch (JNM), an independent platform of Citizen Groups, undertook a pan-Mumbai direct action movement, to remove illegal political banners in Jan-Feb 2009.
Those Citizen Groups and NGOs who are keen to undertake similar citizen movement to remove illegal banners in public spaces may please study the attached picture.
Here is a list of files, of which the ppt file underlined in red is the key. This is a power point presentation that tells you the process that JNM Volunteers and associated NGOs, undertook in the past two months to shake the Mumbai Administration and Maharashtra State Govt. on a blatantly illegal act.
The Bombay High Court passed orders against illegal banners, the Mayor of Mumbai came out publicly against illegal political banners and the Administration started the process of taking down thousands of such illegal banners. This symbolic protest by citizens to empower themselves and shake the Administration, is a very successful movement. It allows Citizen Groups to get together and plan other citizen centric activities. The coming Parliament Elections will need NGOs to act together to get the best for the country. This JNM feels is one way to implement the change in political culture.
The set of 42 files is zipped into one file which is stored at MediaFire (a free hosting site), from where you can download the same. A broadband internet connection is essential. Those who do not have one may please visit Cyber Cafes or their well wishers for same.

Kindly unzip the files into a 'new folder' on your computer and study the same in details. The attached pic will guide you on the files in the zip folder. Most of them are pictures of letters and newspaper clippings, which will show you how JNM and other Groups run the movement in Mumbai.
