After the incident was reported to the authorities, the civic officials of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) immediately turned off the power supply to the display board to rectify the embarrassing words appearing on the display.

One user who saw the post took to the comment section and asked, "Does it happen due to hacking?" While another person's comment read, "There is definitely an open back door to this network of display screens. "I'm not sure if the CCTV network is safe too." Meanwhile, a one other person demanded, "Culprits must be given the harshest of punishment."

Also, the Navi Mumbai Police took to the comment section and informed the users that "the digital board has been shut down by our traffic staff."
