The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has embarked on a mission to reclaim the city’s visual landscape, launching a comprehensive crackdown on unauthorized advertising hoardings. This bold move, driven by a commitment to urban aesthetics and safety, has seen the civic body send notices to advertising agencies and property owners who have neglected to pay the mandatory licensing fees for displaying advertisements.
One such operation, carried out in the Sardar Patel Bavla area of Naranpura, faced significant resistance, prompting the need for police intervention. This incident underscored the challenges posed by those who have continued to flout the regulations, despite the Supreme Court’s clear mandate.
The AMC’s crackdown has resulted in the removal of numerous hoardings across all zones of the city, sending a strong message to those who have been disregarding the law. This decisive action is a testament to the civic body’s determination to create a more visually appealing and safer urban environment for its residents.
