The Commissioner of the BBM Gaurav Gupta’s head has asked officials to postpone the installation of all digital stockpiling until the tender conditions are fully reviewed.
Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Pulike (BBMP) has decided to review the condition of the tender in connection with the allowance of large advertising in the exchange of police traffic kiosks.
Such decisions were taken a day after Bangalore Mirror reported that the condition of the BBMP tender was not in line with the rules of its own advertising, notified by the state government of last month.
In a letter written to the BBMP traffic engineering cell (TEC), Chief Commissioner Gaedav Gupta directed officials to postpone the installation of digital stockpiling until the tender conditions were fully reviewed.
The head of the BBMP also stated that no newly stockpiling will be placed or ads on existing hoarding will be allowed until the problem is resolved.
Bangalore’s mirror, in an article titled ‘Massive Attack: The size of the advertisement is not a problem for BBMP’, has reported that the latest Civic body tender calling for the installation of 124 kiosks violating the advertising rules, 2019.
The rules state that there is no hoarding that should be permitted in the islands Cross or within 25 meters of stop line.
It also states that hoarding should not be more than 25 percent of the vertical structure of the PPP project (police kiosk).

Massive attack: Ad size is not a problem for BBMPabout a year ago, BBMP uses the same term to build 389 police kiosks by providing advertising rights for 20 years.
The head letter of the BBMP commissioner has also placed the brakes on the tender given in 2018-19.
Post Contractor Sign India Pvt Ltd, which won the tender to install more than 350 police kiosks, has begun to put a large stockpiling in the traffic islands.
But the driver is not happy with the digital stockpiling that comes on traffic islands because they can easily distract motorists.
They suggest this hoarding shifted elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Sai Dutta activists wondered why BBMP gave 20 years of advertising rights when the cost of installing police kiosks could be restored by advertisers in less than a year.
“If BBMP has no money to build a kiosk, it can provide an ad space at the kiosk itself.
No need to let separate stockpiling that look much greater than the kiosk itself,” he said.
When the tender was given to sign posts, BBMP has explained that the company must comply with advertising policies every time they are told.
But citizens face advertising policies because major hoarding will soon begin to emerge along the way in the city.
