CM city glared up by anti govt hoardings; MC caught unawares , on this issue , Gurpreet, a resident of Patiala said, “Actually Municipal Corporation has no check on hoardings. Anyone can place hoarding anywhere, at his will. If you are placing a political hoarding, no one from the MC dares to remove that. These hoardings are placed without giving any revenue to the corporation. It’s a huge nexus. Advertisement through hoarding is a major source of income for Municipal Corporation. But being a CM, local bodies and now PPCC President’s city, the royal city has become a defaced city. as every nook and corner is defaced by these political leaders and MC is a mute spectator. The MC must check on these illegal hoardings and take action against those who put illegal hoardings in the city. “
