Karachi: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has ordered the removal of all billboards, posters, advertisements, and hoardings within 15 days in different public places in the city of Karachi.
According to reports, the case concerning the removal of billboards and hoardings from public spaces was heard by a two-member bench led by Justice Nadeem Akhtar, based on the petition filed by Dr. Syed Ali Raza Gardezi.
The counsel representing the petitioner argued that the Supreme Court had issued a ban on the placement of billboards at various public locations, including the middle of roads, flyovers, electric poles, footpaths, pedestrian bridges, etc.
Following this, the Sindh High Court has directed that all billboards, posters, hoardings, and banners installed in public spaces in Karachi be removed within 15 days.
The court directed the Mayor, Deputy Commissioners, and the Cantonment Executive to implement the order. The court also instructed the Containment Executive to ensure the implementation of judicial orders through the Inspector General of Sindh and the SSPs.
After the implementation, the High Court has sought a report from the administration, and the next hearing of the case has been scheduled for January 18.
