For example, the BBMP registered cases against 120 people for putting up banners and hoardings in the city in the year 2020. Trial has been pending in 28 cases for the last three years, and only 76 people have been convicted in the cases registered under the Karnataka Open Places (Prevention of Disfigurement) Act. Surprisingly, the BBMP authorities failed to gather information about six people responsible for putting up banners and finally filed a C-Report.
