The State government has scrapped the notification on the new advertisement rules that paved the way for commercial hoardings to make a comeback in the city. An order was issued to this effect on September 14.
The notification on the new advertisement rules was issued on July 26 to replace the BBMP Outdoor Signage and Public Messaging Bylaws, 2018, under which there was a blanket ban on commercial hoardings across the city.
At a review meeting chaired by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, several city Ministers had expressed concern over allowing the hoardings to return marring the city’s aesthetics. They had also pointed out that the new bylaws would favour the advertisement mafia.
