Commission for the Reform of Signage and Advertising Boards Holds Advisory Meeting

The Commission for the Reform of Signage and Advertising Boards, which operates under the Deputy Ministry for Publications Affairs at the Ministry of Information and Culture, held an advisory meeting at the Cultural Directorate of Kabul Municipality. The meeting was chaired by Mullah Abdul Nafi Taqi, Head of Cultural and Social Affairs at Kabul Municipality, and attended by members of the commission.

At the start of the meeting, the commission's secretary shared a report on its field activities with the members.

The meeting rejected two applications for signboard licenses because the signboards contained foreign-language words. The owners of both businesses were asked to produce signboards and advertisements for their commercial activities and trades in the country's national languages.

The commission's secretariat was also asked to prepare a draft, in line with the commission's procedural standards, on wall writings and posted advertisements. The draft is to address these practices because they have prompted complaints from private property owners and contributed to pollution in the city. It will also be shared with relevant government and private institutions.

In addition, the meeting selected the new Makroyan market in Kabul's ninth district as the site of the commission's next field program.
