The advertisem­ents (wall-mounted and ground hoardings) should be limited to 40x25 dimensions. The size restrictio­ns for hoardings on rooftop were 30x25, placed on buildings not exceeding two stories.

The GHMC stated that in the event of any unfortunat­e mishap, the agency concerned shall be responsibl­e for the consequenc­es of civil and criminal liability in accordance with law.

Earlier, all agencies were instructed to take down flexis immediatel­y and not mount flexis or display advertisem­ents on hoardings and unipoles till June 15, 2017.

Due to this order, private agencies dealing with advertisem­ents incurred huge losses.

The agencies in a recent meeting with the GHMC requested the corporatio­n to permit them to display ads and promised a single flex.
