PUDUCHERRY: The Madras high court has intervened once again to direct the Puducherry government to remove unauthorised flex banners and boards, hoardings, arches, cut-outs and tatty boards erected on public roads, passages and pedestrian platforms and in public and private properties without obtaining permission from the competent authorities in Puducherry.
While disposing of a petition filed by former panchayat president G A Jagannathan, high court Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari and Justice D Bharatha Chakravarthy said the government was at liberty to even recover the cost of removal of illegal structures from the people, who erected them (banners).
