Unauthorised hoardings, banners and flexes will no longer be permitted in Bengaluru city, according to D K Shivakumar, the deputy chief minister of Karnataka, who made the announcement on Tuesday. The prohibition will go into effect in the coming days. The DCM, who is also in charge of the development of Bengaluru city, cited high court rulings when he claimed that the ban would be applied "very strictly" and that it would affect political parties as well as private organisations and people as well as religious organisations.
We're planning to outlaw flexes across the board in Bengaluru on or before august 15 in three to four days. Nobody will be permitted to display flexes. No flexing would be tolerated, whether it be on my part, the party's, political leaders, or opposition parties' part (BJP or JD(S)). In this context, there are also judicial directives," Shivakumar added. Speaking to reporters at this location, he stated that the court has given three weeks and that those in charge have been instructed to remove any unauthorised hoardings and flexes.
Thus, no one will be permitted to erect unlawful hoardings, banners, or flexes from this point forward. According to the court, if such hoardings or flexes appear, the BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) will also be penalised. A fee of Rs 50,000 per banner, hoarding, or flex will be imposed on anyone who erects such, the speaker stated. The deputy chief minister underlined that no hoardings or flexes of the chief minister, ministers or other political leaders would be permitted throughout the city, adding that the government will likely release a policy under which only limited licences would likely be granted for official or government reasons.
