“Take off Hindi from Namma Metro Sign Boards” Pro-Kannada activist

Bengaluru: Bangaluru Metro Rail Corporation is facing heat on the usage use of Hindi signboards in the metro train service.
Pro-Kannada activists gearing up for a large-scale protest against the alleged imposition of Hindi have urged the government to come up with a clear-cut policy, without which confusion over the language issue will continue to disturb law and order.
BMRC officials say they are caught in a bind and cannot remove Hindi from signages without written instructions from the government.
The BMRC officials say that they are in a helpless situation when the Pro-Kannada activists rage against them on this. They are asking the State Government to make up its mind and be clear in their decision before the situation gets out of hand.
Activists of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV), which is spearheading the anti-Hindi campaign, had recently blackened signboards at Metro stations and staged a demonstration in front of the BMRC office.
