Officers of the Belagavi City Corporation began a survey of name plates and boards of shops and offices in Belagavi to check whether they contain Kannada letters in the scheduled proportion and conform to the language policy of the State.
As per a recently amended order, 60% of the area of a board or name plate should be in Kannada and the rest can be in any language.
Belagavi City Corporation Commissioner Ashok Dudagunti told reporters that this is in line with an order issued by the State government.
