**BJP Leader Demands Enforcement of Tamil Nameboards in Puducherry**
**Puducherry – May 30, 2025** – Former President of the Puducherry Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit, V. Saminathan, is calling on the Puducherry government to take decisive action against businesses failing to adhere to regulations regarding the display of Tamil nameboards.
In a statement released today, Mr. Saminathan criticized the government’s lack of enforcement of the existing directive mandating the use of Tamil nameboards in front of all shops and establishments across the city. He stated that many businesses continue to display nameboards solely in English, defying the order.
Mr. Saminathan emphasized the government’s responsibility to ensure compliance and demanded that authorities enforce the rule rigorously. He urged officials to achieve 100% adherence across all hotels, commercial establishments, and institutions. He further stated that penalties must be imposed on businesses that fail to comply with the Tamil nameboard directive.
The issue of language usage in public signage remains a sensitive one in Puducherry, a region with a strong Tamil cultural identity. The demand for stricter enforcement of Tamil nameboards reflects ongoing efforts to promote and preserve the Tamil language in the region.
