BBMP Council yet to make public its stand on the hoardings issue; next HC hearing on hoardings issue on Aug 10
The council’s plea was not made in the High Court hearing that took place on August 8, as per sources, but in the High Court hearing on August 10, the BBMP Council’s stand on the hoardings issue is likely to be clearer. Importantly, what the Court decides will have a big impact on OOH business in the city.
Currently, there is no ban on hoardings in the city, but the majority of hoardings are apparently unauthorised as BBMP has not renewed their licenses. Agencies commissioned by BBMP to pull down unauthorised hoarding structures are likely to get into act. Some of those structures on private land are being brought down.
