Mumbai: It seems that someone in Mumbai had a bit of a mischievous streak when it came to the LED display board at Haji Ali dargah road in Mumbai. Instead of displaying a typical diversion sign, the board was flashing the message "smoke weed every day," as captured in a video uploaded by a social media user.
