Hoardings in Hyderabad not to be resized, says GHMC

Officials of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) said it has no plan to bring back the hoardings that are double the size of the ones that existed earlier. “The new advertisement policy is yet to be approved by the chief minister. The draft policy does not say that the size of the hoardings will be doubled,” said a GHMC official. “Let the people who decided the size and other details of the hoardings to create a panic after the



Mumbai billboard mishap release the government order (GO) on advertisement,” he said.

The draft of the new advertisement policy, which is not yet approved, seeks relaxation on setting up billboards, above 15 feet from the ground level. Since the policy was not approved yet, the ban on advertisement elements, which are above 15 feet from ground level, continues.
