Obtain permits for ads through electronic screens: ministry

The Ministry of Municipality has stressed the need to obtain the necessary permits for the use of electronic screens on the facades of buildings for advertisement and commercial purposes. In a post on social media on Thursday, the ministry said it had observed the trend of electronic screens being placed on the facades of some buildings, shops and service villas, and their use to advertise a product or commercial activity without consulting the competent municipality to obtain approval or not. "We note that it is necessary to obtain the necessary permits in accordance with Law No. 1 of 2012 on the Regulation and Control of the Placement of Advertising," the ministry said.
