Plea to ban digital banners
On behalf of the Vellore All Traders’ Association, its president Mr. Gnanavelu with his team of traders submitted petition to the collector.
There are many small and mini-shops located in Vellore Anna Salai. Digital banners kept on these shops tend to hide parts of the commercial complex. Thus, the traders tend to suffer considerable loss of business. As these traders have been regular in paying the income tax and sales tax, their suffering should be addressed immediately. Hence, displaying digital banners in front of commercial complexes must be banned and permission should not be given to fix digital banners.
