Civic body files police complaint against BJP leader for illegal banner
After going all out to pull down illegal hoardings, the Pune
Municipal Corporation (PMC) administration on Friday started filing
police complaints against those installing banners in its jurisdiction
without prior permission.
In a first-of-its-kind complaint, the civic administration has
filed a case against BJP leader Dhiraj Ghate for installing his birthday
celebration banners and his pledge to donate foodgrains to people of
drought-affected areas.
It was found that Ghate had not taken permission of the civic
body and a complaint against him was filed under Section 244 of BPMC
Act, 1949.
