Muktsar, Punjab (March 7, 2014): As per media reports, in sheer violation of election code of conduct for the Lok Sabha elections, hoardings of ruling political party in Punjab continue to dot the main roads in the Mukatsar district.
Though the Deputy Commissioner had on March 05 held a meeting with the representatives of various political parties and directed them to remove their posters and banners, the latter seem to be in mood to relent.
“Be it highway or any main road of the town, hoardings, stickers and posters of political parties are still visible in Malout, Muktsar, Gidderbaha and Lambi assembly constituencies, which fall in Ferozepur, Faridkot and Bathinda parliamentary constituencies” The Tribune (TT) has reported.
The pictures of the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on reverse osmosis (R.O.) water treatment plants are also yet to be covered at some places.
Similarly, overhead water tanks painted blue and yellow (colours associated with the SAD) are yet to be covered.
