Just because the highways signboard carried Hindi signage, it cannot be treated as Hindi imposition, said Congress MP Karti Chidambaram here on Saturday.

Speaking to reporters, he said that the Tamil Nadu government had suspended two highways officials following reports that they had allowed ‘unauthorised Hindi inscriptions’ on the Nagercoil-Madurai State Highways (SH-93) signage, may not be construed as Hindi imposition.

Plainly speaking, many of the travellers on the highways used Google Maps to reach their destinations. Moreover, for people from other States, such signage would help them to travel without any confusion, he said and added that in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, there were sign boards in Tamil.
