In a harrowing incident on Tuesday morning, an illegal hoarding became entangled with the window of a moving school bus on NIBM Road, putting the safety of children on board at risk. A video captured by an onlooker highlights the grave danger posed by such unauthorized hoardings, bringing attention to the need for stringent action against violators.
The incident has once again brought to the forefront the issue of illegal hoardings proliferating in the city, with citizens expressing concern over the civic administration’s perceived failure to take decisive action despite repeated complaints.
Kishore Jedhe, a resident from the NIBM area, remarked, “It is risky to put up illegal hoardings, and the civic administration fails to act against violators despite repeated complaints.” This sentiment echoes the frustration of many residents who feel that the lax enforcement of regulations contributes to the proliferation of unauthorized advertisements, putting public safety at risk.
