The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has ordered all business establishments, commercial institutions, and shops across the city to display signboards prominently in Bengali.
The notification says the State’s official language should be at the top of all hoardings, signboards and signage. The order has to be complied with by September 30. The new notification by the Municipal Commissioner recalls an earlier order, dated December 30, 2024, in which shops and institutions were “requested” to include Bengali on their signboards.
