The apex court has given orders to remove unauthorized hoardings and take strict against them
“Honorable Madras High Court had issued guidelines in 2016 that no unauthorised promotional media can be installed in any form whether its banner or digital screen. As per those guidelines, the apex authority has issued a ban which is specifically meant for electoral campaigns which creates huge clutter in the city. Therefore, to halt this practice and remove clutter, the court has issued a ban on using an alive person’s image in the campaign,” explained the Revenue Office of Greater Chennai Corporation.
However, if this practice continues in the city, an FIR will be filed against the defaulters for installing unauthorised banners. Authorised sites will remain intact.
