Coimbatore: hoarding and banners, most of them illegal, have begun to mushroom on the streets throughout the city, disturbing motorists and put their lives at risk.
Stockpiling and banners, installed by real estate developers, educational institutions and hospitals, began to appear several months ago, commuter said.
Unlike before, most of them are smaller sized.
“There was almost no banner at Sathy Road a few months ago.
If the problem is not handled immediately, it will endanger the lives of the passengers,” said P Balajinasi, Regular Commuter.
Do solid traffic and solid roads, even microseconds are enough to cause accidents, other commuter words.
“Authority must take action if they are worried about public safety.” Secretary of the Coimbatore District Road Protection Association M Devendran said that banners and illegal hoarding were seen in all stretches in the city.
“I saw some of them on the road that connected Velpinar and Saravanampatti, Vilankurichi, Kalatti and Saravanampatti.
My complaint to officials, including people from Coimbatore City Corporation, fell on deaf ears,” he told toa in public places.
The collector is the only competent authority to issue a license.
Officials with corporate technical wings say that they often remove hoarding and illegal banners, but they appear again.
“We will drive to delete it,” he said.
