Nailing of pamphlets on trees

Sub: Nailing of pamphlets on trees.

It is very disappointing to notice that few advertisement agencies of a reputed telecom company have resorted to very disgusting/cheap method of advertisement. This is disturbing the Bangalore environment. It is noticed that BBMP have resorted to very efficient method (Beautiful paintings of the rich culture of KARNATAKA on the walls of government buildings to prevent pasting of posters across the so called Garden City (Namma Bengaluru).

The advertisement companies have started to nail the pamphlets on the trees. This is something very annoying. When we have visitor (foreigners) to the city who sees, it is very shameful to us and also to the telecom company. The company though is spending crores on advertisement through TV, sport agencies, Paper retail outlets etc., but the method of nailing pamphlets on tress is something which should be stopped immediately. As it is the city is losing large amount of trees in the name of development, Imagine the numbers of trees that are being felled to prepare paper that is being used to manufacture these pamphlets. Though the telecom company mentions in there website to prevent paper bills and opt for message notification, they should see this method of advertisement is a natural waste.

I hope concerned authorities will stop this disgusting act. Please help to save trees and prevent the beauty of our city. Being such a big telecom company and resorting to such cheap method of advertisement is a shameful act. Will the company authorities do the same in their house (dirty their area). If they are keen on advertising let them have the pamphlets pasted on their house, backyards, cars etc.., .

Concerned officials of BBMP and forest department please stop this menance from these local advertisers and help the city in looking green rather than papers
