This was formed by the Haryana government in December 2020.
“Through a public notification, advertisement traders, firms, and manufacturers have been directed not to put up any advertisement within the MCM limits without an approval. All concerned stakeholders have been given seven days to comply with this direction, following which action will be taken against them as per the law,” said Munish Sharma, MCM commissioner.
As per the MCM officials, if an advertisement is already on display, the person or firm concerned will have to remove it within seven days, along with the structure built for the advertisement. After the completion of the stipulated period, a penalty money will be recovered from the advertiser, the structure for the advertisement will be demolished, and action will be taken against the person or firm concerned under the Haryana Municipal Corporation Advertisement byelaws and the Haryana Defacement of Property Act.
