Lucknow Municipal Corporation to remove illegal hoardings

LUCKNOW: The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) would conduct a city-wide drive to remove illegal advertisements and hoardings. Cases would be lodged against the agencies concerned under 'Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act' in local police stations. Municipal commissioner RK Singh said that one may find many illegal hoardings and posters on public properties like sign boards, police booths, traffic lights, public buildings, flyovers etc which are causing damage to the property. For instance, posters on electric poles cause untimely rusting and on road dividers increase accident risks. "To avoid this, immediate action is needed to check these activities," he added.

He expressed concern for damage done to the walls and streets of Hazratganj because of putting posters on them.
