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.
