Following Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar's directive, the MCC warned of fines and legal action under the Karnataka Open Places Act against violators. The initiative has received support from citizens, tourists, and local organizations, with calls for voluntary removal of unauthorized materials and adherence to permission protocols for public displays.
