Hyderabad Approves New Rules for Temporary and Hyperlocal Ads
The state government has made new rules for temporary and neighbourhood advertisements in the CURE area.
Each ward will have approved places where these ads can go.
People must book a place using the MyCURE or advertisement app.
Booking opens seven days before the ad date, and one phone number can book only one slot at a time.
Ads need a QR code showing booking information and the printer ID.
Temporary ads can stay for three days, while neighbourhood ads can stay for seven days.
The rules also limit how large each type of ad can be.
Ads cannot block roads, signs, signals or CCTV cameras, or be put on several protected structures and public facilities.
Authorities can remove unauthorised ads and recover fines and removal costs from the person responsible.
The state government approved guidelines for temporary and hyperlocal advertising in the CURE area.
Each ward will have five to 10 temporary-ad locations and 25 to 50 hyperlocal-ad locations, approved by the deputy commissioner.
Applicants must book through the MyCURE or advertisement app; slots open seven days ahead, and each mobile number may hold one slot at a time.
Temporary ads may run for up to three days and measure no more than 18x18 feet; hyperlocal ads may run for seven days and measure up to 6x6 feet.
Unauthorised or improperly placed ads can be removed, with fines and removal costs charged to the responsible person.
