The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court on Wednesday disposed of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition that sought removal of all illegal flex boards, hoardings and arches erected in public roads, passages and pedestrian pathways in Tamil Nadu, after the government informed the court that the Director General of Police had already issued a circular in this regard.
In the circular, issued on August 14, the DGP instructed all commissioners and superintendents of police in the state to strictly adhere to an order passed by the court on August 12 directing removal of all illegal structures immediately.
