The City and Industrial Development Authority (CIDCO) has been ordered by the Bombay High Court to create a suitable policy for handling hoardings, emphasising the necessity of safety audits as opposed to removing all billboards altogether.
According to a Times of India story, Justices Nitin Borkar and Somasekhar Sundaresan referred to CIDCO’s practice of arbitrarily granting removal notices to hoardings as “carpet bombing” during a hearing on May 27 and instead instructed the organisation to develop “some reasonable policy.”
