Good move! Organizations/ Individuals whose name appears on the wall chalkings i.e. some marketing campaign by a telecom company painted on a resident's wall, should be fined as well besides being asked to restore the affected area.
Well done at least some consutructive bill pass in favour to city. Let see how much obeyed and punishments.
