Aparajita Sarangi, a Member of Parliament from the Bharatiya Janata Party, has alleged that the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) was adopting partisan approach in the removal of hoardings and posters installed by various political parties.
The BMC has been actively levying hefty fines for the placement of unauthorised posters and hoardings on city walls. Despite the long-standing restriction on unauthorised hoardings in Bhubaneswar, the BMC has intensified its efforts to enforce the regulation in recent times.
“Hoardings had been put up by all of us conveying New Year Greetings to the residents of Bhubaneswar. I have been watching for the past couple of days, all the hoardings put up by the ruling political party have not been removed,” Ms. Sarangi said in a letter addressed to BMC Commissioner Vijay Amruta Kulange.
