Bengaluru BBMP removes 2,000 illegal banners in one day

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Bengaluru's BBMP removed over 1,350 illegal flex banners and 600 party flags in one day, following a directive from Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. This comes after clearing 12,727 banners in seven months. Despite these efforts, illegal advertisements continue to appear across the city. BBMP officials noted that outdated advertisement bylaws hinder effective enforcement. New bylaws drafted in July 2024 are not yet implemented. BBMP struggles to find an agency for banner removals, limiting their ability to enforce penalties, which could total Rs 700 crore if the bylaws are enforced.
