Bangalore BBMP law and order Hoardings Citizen Reports environment defacing



This is the BBMP park adjoining the Indiranagar Club. Its verdant greenery is a most pleasant sight for the urban dwellers' eyes, otherwise battered by the sights of the concrete jungles all around. Over the last week, however, it has got marred by this huge hoarding put up by the local MLA, supposedly conveying season's greetings to the people.

Well, Sir, I for one can do without the defacing of our public spaces, however beloved a neta you may be. Defacing of road junctions with such hoardings is bad enough. Defacing of parks is not acceptable at all. Please find some better way of greeting people, or conveying your messages.

@ Nadeem Khan - you want us to believe that the MLA has no hand in this, and it is his adversaries who are doing it to frame him? Really, you do?

it's our flex-hero's birthday; do wish him

Siddaramaiah, speaking to reporters after conducting a review meeting with BBMP officials on Monday, said illegal flexes, banners and other boards were a menace. “The High Court as well as Lokayukta had objected to the same. Even B.PAC has done so recently. We have decided to completely ban these boards. Only advertisement hoardings which have sought permission from the BBMP can be used,” he said. A notification in this regard will be issued soon, he said. The CM said he has directed BBMP to take action not just against those who put up such hoardings, but against those who print them as well. “No one should use my photograph too,” he said

All very fine. Will it however stop our Flex-hero (seen in the picture above, inviting his admirers to wish him, on his birthday) ? Or, his chaela's; or, if you want to go by Mr Ndeem Khan's submission, the flex-hero's adversaries?

@murali772

i never meant politicians are innocent

i just showed a point of view

it is possible that some may do such mischievious activities

and thus the normal corrupt politicians get an excuse saying we never did so and so; it was done by our enemy or in most normal case they say by our followers............

there should be some changes in the law 

 

 

BUS SHELTER HOARDINGS

pathykv - 22 January, 2015 - 06:29

While renovating old bus shelters or erecting new ones, MLA's, MP's and corporators are writing that these are 'donated' by them and are using the entire space for advrtising their own names. No proper information required by the bus commuters such as bus route numbers, destinations, timings etc are shown as no space is left for even the bus stop names.  Are these not to be treated as illegal hoardigs and done away with?

i just want to know how the politics will be working in this politics of ministers

i mean now anyone can frame anyone by silently putting up posters of their opposition and frame them and drag them into legal charges against them ?

how will the police and bbmp take action in such case unless they dont know who exactly put them up (huge banners and hoardings)

this is the way the bbmp and police are helpless in catching the actual culprit
