Bhubaneswar: Three agencies/individuals had to cough up Rs 50,000 as penalty for pasting ‘to-let’ posters across city walls and electric poles, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) informed.

While FIR has also been lodged against them, the civic body has also warned of action for notices pasted on defunct vehicles and structures placed on the roads. The owners have to asked remove those.

In March, Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL) had announced Rs 50,000 fine on anyone found sticking posters and advertisements on smart devices and elements on Janpath and other places in Odisha capital after ‘to-let’ posters flooded smart kiosks as well as boxes put up by the agency on different junctions of the arterial road.

An FIR was lodged and Rs 50,000 penalty imposed on opera (jatra) party Sri Biswa Darbar for allegedly pasting unauthorised banners, posters and hoardings at many places spoiling the city’s landscape in August. A television channel was also slapped with the same fine for allegedly erecting hoardings and posters unauthorisedly at different locations in the city.

Last month, a fine of Rs 50,000 was imposed on the multi-designer store at Jaydev Vihar area for putting up posters on roadside trees.
