The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Chief Commissioner, Tushar Giri Nath directed the officials to issue notices to shops for creating awareness on Kannada Language Comprehensive Development Act 2022.
Mr. Giri Nath said during the survey conducted by the civic body, if the shop was found not adhering to 60:40 ratio, then a notice should be served. The notice will spread awareness of the law, he said.
The BBMP will not just look into signboards but also into trade licences . The shops are mandated to obtain licences from the civic body. If the shops were found not having the licences then notices will be served asking why the shops cannot be shut. The shops should immediately apply for licences.
