KTR's mission : Banners, posters banned

Banners and posters with the photographs of political parties including Minister K.T Rama Rao and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao were removed to clean up the Adilabad town and make it banners -free. 

It is learnt that this is going on in all the municipalities of the state.

The municipal officials embarked on the move on the instructions of none other than Municipal Administration and Urban development Minister K. T. Rama Rao. 

The Municipal authorities also going to impose a ban on using plastic covers will impose fine Rs 50,000 on the banners if anybody puts up at the roadside without permission.

Adilabad municipal chairperson Rangineni Manisha held a meeting with the local businesspersons and asked them not to use the plastic covers instead carry bags made of paper and cloth.

Municipal staff who removed the banners said ‘It was surprising to see that there are more banners and posters of ruling TRS and these were put up by the fans and associates welcoming their leaders and expressing wishes to their leaders.

The municipal staff has been removing banners and Advertising plastic billboards tied to the electricity poles and many of them have been removed from collectorate, NTR chowk and Ambedkar chowk and on the road leads to district court under Adilabad Municipality. 

It seems that preventing the use of plastic covers is not so easy and futile efforts were made for the same in the past too.

It is learnt that, in a meeting held recently, Municipal Administration Minister K. T Rama Rao had communicated to all the municipal authorities even remove the banners carrying his photographs too and make the municipalities banner free.

It is observed that the indiscriminate use of plastic covers poses a threat to the environment as most of the plastic covers being sold in the market are not biodegradable.
