Reports on BBMP’s illegal advertisement hoardings by K Mathai

Transport Department opposes new carpooling platform, expert recommends changes to waste processing plants, NEERI may audit city lakes – read more on what made news in Bengaluru this week

Widening the road near Varthur lake is a necessity for Whitefield area, so is rejuvenating the Varthur lake. The hunger strike for the road and notices of lake protection agency on illegality in the lake – both have gone futile.

BBMP doesn’t have the count of illegal hoardings in the city, and there’s no one to spot them too. Some advertising agencies continue to host ads without paying BBMP, even as disputes are in court. In effect, BBMP is not earning as much as it should.
