Many high end apartments in Bangalore have banned it. why not hang from the rear balcony, or get a drying stand whose level is lower than the balcony railing? This way, the clothes cannot be seen from the outside. Hanging clothes from the balcony is hideous and spoils the view.

Bully for the laundry satyagrahis! Clothes hanging from balconies look pathetic, and buildings should provide hanging spaces. But a back yard with a clothes-line fluttering in the breeze is something else-- an image from childhood! A funny thing comes to mind -- the Hindi film heroine bringing in laundry and singing a coy love song into her husband/lover's shirt!. There’s only so much legislation a state can pass.
