Bombay HC Seeks Details on FIRs Against Illegal Hoardings
The Bombay High Court wants to know how many times the police have been called to remove illegal signs and how much money has been collected as fines.
They think this will help stop people from putting up signs without permission.
The court likes how one city has been doing this and wants other cities to do the same.
They also told one city to explain what they've done to stop illegal signs or they might have to talk to their boss next time.
