In urban and rural areas, large illegal colored metal sheets and green polythene are often observed at the edges of main roads, surrounding construction sites. This is done to prevent passing traffic from viewing the ongoing construction. However, people’s curiosity is hard to suppress.
If hoardings are taken down due to their depiction and obstruction to the driving mind, this illegal practice of erecting metal sheets and green polythene along road edges should be addressed firmly by the authorities concerned. When a construction plan is submitted to urban/rural authorities for approval, special attention should be given to ensuring that no owner or contractor installs any metal sheets or green polythene around the construction site. While these illegal practices may seem convenient for traffic movement, they can have significant consequences.
Therefore, it has become a norm for people to commit illegalities, as there are no stringent laws to fear. The authorities must take proactive measures to curb these unauthorized constructions and enforce regulations to maintain the aesthetics and safety of public spaces.
