Cadre of a few political parties are putting up banners again
After a gap of a few months, the practice of erecting flex boards and hoardings has returned to the city.
Acting on a batch of public interest litigation petitions in December 2018, the Madras High Court had restrained political parties and public forums from erecting digital banners or placards on either side of arterial roads, platforms, walkways and any other road throughout the State. The order was passed on the ground that the publicity materials tend to divert the attention of the road users thereby causing accidents.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
