Bhubaneswar, Dec 12: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued a circular to extract as much as Rs 50,000 as a fine if it finds 'To-let' advertisement poster on the walls of government buildings in the city. The circular came this morning as a measure to transform the cleanliness of the city.
Renting houses has become a business in Bhubaneswar with many people seeking accommodation. However, in an aim to earn, some people stick 'To-let' bills on the walls and other places they find in public places.
This has dirtied the walls in the city. Thus, the BMC has come with a guideline to not stick any poster or bill on walls, electric poles or any other public property, barring which a whopping Rs 50,000 can be charged. Stringent action would also be taken if someone was found doing so.
