Gauhati HC Seeks Status Report on Pending Guwahati Ad Policy

The Gauhati High Court has asked the Assam Government to submit a status report on the long-pending Guwahati Outdoor Advertisement Policy Guidelines, 2017. Despite a 2018 court directive, the final notification is still pending. A fresh PIL highlights the continued lack of regulation for hoardings and billboards in Guwahati, calling it administrative apathy. The court has revived scrutiny on the matter.
