The Congress government in Karnataka is planning to enforce the allocation of 60% signboard space in all business establishments to Kannada, replacing the existing 50:50 ratio. The government announced this after activists vandalised signboards in Bengaluru. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike has directed all businesses to adhere to the new rule or face action. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stated that the government would amend the Kannada Language Comprehensive Development Act, 2022, to ensure the new signboard ratio.
