Opposition parties in Goa have raised objections to the proposed bill aimed at regulating outdoor advertisements and hoardings in the state. The bill, if passed, would bring in stricter regulations for outdoor advertising, including hoardings, billboards, and posters. Members of the opposition have expressed concerns about the impact of the bill on the advertising industry in Goa, arguing that it could stifle creativity and innovation. They have also raised questions about the process of consultation and stakeholder engagement in drafting the bill.

The government has stated that the bill is intended to streamline the outdoor advertising sector and ensure that advertisements are displayed in a responsible and visually appealing manner. However, critics fear that the bill could lead to censorship and limit the freedom of expression through advertising. The controversy surrounding the bill highlights the complexities of balancing commercial interests with environmental and aesthetic considerations in the field of outdoor advertising.
