Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The State government on Wednesday told the Madras High Court that it would bring in new rules for governing erection of digital banners by making an amendment to chapter XII-A of the Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act, 19191 and similar Local Body Acts.
According to a report submitted by Additional Advocate General P. Wilson, “an amendment by way of special provisions governing digital banners needs to be introduced and a different set of rules need to be framed regulating the erection, duration of erection and their removal.”
A decision in this regard was taken in a meeting convened by Chief Secretary S. Malathi on September 14 in the wake of a direction given by the High Court on a petition filed by social worker Traffic Ramasamy seeking a ban on digital banners.
