Hearing the PIL, Indore High Court has pointed out that there are, at least, 29 hoardings on city roads and intersections that disrupt the flow of traffic. The next hearing on the issue has been scheduled for June 12 and the court has clarified that no such hoardings should come up in the city in the meanwhile.
