Banners spoil Jakarta's beauty

Banners spoil Jakarta's beauty

From Warta Kota

Banners and posters in Jakarta are now haphazardly put up in various places, even on electricity/telephone poles, trees and road fences.

Such displays, by private business organizations, educational institutions, government agencies and political parties, can also be found on main streets and railway stations between Jakarta and Bogor.

The question is whether Jakarta has any rule on the proper places for such banners, so that one can be sure of the legality of fixing posters on road fences or pedestrian bridges, for example.

The Jakarta provincial administration should strictly regulate this practice so that the beauty of this capital will not be spoiled, particularly as Jakarta is advancing in age with this year's anniversary.
