Why should ECI engage in work done by Corporations?

There are reports from all around that the Election Commission has started strictness and it s on ECI’s instructions that the hoardings are being removed

New Delhi: These days, it is visible in the media and also in social media that how the district administration and municipal administration are taking down posters and hoardings etc.

Posters, banners, hoardings etc. are being taken down by using heavy machinery.

All these posters, banners and hoardings etc. belong to the governments of the states, which they had put up to inform the people of such achievements, which are not visible to the public with their own eyes, and without giving advertisements, the public will not even know about them.

However, there are reports from all around that the Election Commission has started strictness and it s on ECI’s instructions that the hoardings are being removed.

The question is that why is the responsibility not put on the parties or their governments putting up hoardings, that they should remove all their posters and hoardings within 24 hours of the implementation of the election code of conduct, otherwise action will be taken against them? Why will the Election Commission get this work done?

When governments get such big hoardings, posters, banners, cutouts etc. installed through advertising agencies, then why is an agreement not made with them at the same time that they will remove it themselves as soon as the code of conduct comes into force?

Perhaps, even the leaders and babus want to continue ‘influencing’ people and carry on the work till the time it falls in someone’s notice!
