Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the government would introduce an ordinance to ensure that 60 per cent of space on signboards is dedicated to Kannada.
Asserting that signboards in Karnataka must display information in Kannada, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday said the government would enact an ordinance to ensure compliance, but issued a warning after pro-Kannada activists vandalised business establishments a day ago.
Anyone can protest but no one should cause damage to government or public property, he asserted.
The chief minister was reacting to the large-scale vandalism in Bengaluru on Wednesday by members of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (T A Narayana Gowda faction) who targeted shops and business establishments that did not display Kannada signboards, advertisements and name plates.
