The State Government has directed all Deputy Commissioners/District Magistrates to remove all hoarding, structures and displays put up at public places without obtaining prior permission from the competent authority immediately.
In an office memorandum signed by Commissioner (Home) T Ranjit Singh, the Government also directed the District Magistrates to remove all the hoardings, signboards, banners etc with objectionable content, if any, put up at private places by issuing necessary notices to the owners of the lands or properties within 15 days.
"Displaying advertising hoardings, signboards, banners etc on National Highways, State Highways, roads has caused lots of inconvenience and distraction to the general public," it said.
Appealing all concerned to comply with the instructions strictly, the Government said that legal actions may be initiated against the defaulters.
