The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) on Friday welcomed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s announcement to promulgate an ordinance to ensure signboards of shops and business establishments have 60 per cent of text in Kannada.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru, KRRS President Badagalapura Nagendra said promulgation of the ordinance, which seeks to amend the Kannada Language Comprehensive Development Act 2022, should not merely envisage imposition penalty on the violators, but propose to cancel the licenses of the corporates and other businesses responsible for violation of the law.
Hence, the State government should issue a notification with a warning that the violators will have to face stern consequences.
