Parliament on Tuesday passed the 'Wall Writing and Poster Sticking (Prevention) Bill-2012' allowing poster pasting and graffiti only in designated spots.
According to the bill, anybody violating the new law could be fined a maximum of Tk 50,000 and 30 days of imprisonment if the offender fails to pay the fine. Mobile courts will also be able to try the violators.
The bill was passed after speaker Abdul Hamid put it to voice vote.
The endorsement came after state minister for LGRD Jahangir Kabir Nanak tabled the bill on Nov 28 last year on. The cabinet on July 11 that year had approved the bill's draft copy.
