Act Amended to Regulate Hoardings in Rural Local Bodies
The New Indian Express Madurai
|April 29, 2025
RURAL Development Minister I Periyasamy on Monday introduced a Bill to amend the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act 1994 (TNPA) to regulate the erection of hoardings, digital banners or placards in rural local bodies by inserting a new chapter for the purpose.
The minister said TNPA empowers the government to make rules for the manner of displaying advertisements and the manner of removal of objectionable advertisement. But this Act does not have any provision to regulate the erection of hoardings, digital banners and placards in rural local bodies and hence the amendment Bill.
