Illegal flex boards about Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s announcements and that of other party leaders cause defacement in Amritsar on Tuesday. Vishal kumar
Illegal flex boards about Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s announcements are leading to defacement in the city.
Other parties also display hoardings, but the Municipal Corporation’s advertisement wing is often seen removing their hoardings.
CM Channi’s hoarding can be seen in all major roads of the city. The announcements being made by the CM are displayed on these advertisements. An activist, advocate Kuljit Singh, said: “The MC does not take any action against the hoardings of the incumbent party and it is not a healthy practice.”
The activist claimed that the MC officials were ignoring defacement by the
government. The advertisement wing was already facing shortage of employees and workers claim that they were overburdened during the festive season and elections.
The Ministry of Urban Development and Housing considers defacement during Swachhta Survekshan — a nation-wide cleanliness survey. The city has ranked 34th in the city due to poor marks in such components.
The advertisement wing had recently taken some steps to curb defacement during elections. The flex printers were asked to check the no objection certificate (NoC) of the MC before printing advertisement material.
Sushant Bhatia, in-charge, advertisement wing, MC, said: “We are regularly removing illegal hoardings irrespective of any political party.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising four eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the paper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
