The media owners have prevailed upon the municipal body to initiate action only against unauthorised media displays in the city but there is still uncertainty on whether the business interests of those with authorised media will be safeguarded
The media owners met with the authority to put their points across. “We met the authority to understand the issue and as a result now they are taking stringent action only against illegal media prevailing in the trade which is beneficial to us,” he said.
“However, we aren’t sure if our trade is safe as yet as there is a code of conduct in place in the city due to l elections. But if any such action gets repeated we will go to the apex court to safeguard our businesses. As per the order released by the High Court of Lucknow in 2009-2010, the outdoor medium can be regulated or modified but can’t be taken out completely from the city”, the media owner said.
