Corpn.’s efforts go in vain as posters resurface in several parts of Chennai

Those of political parties and films constitute the most common category

Despite sustained efforts by the Greater Chennai Corporation to remove posters from all public walls, the posters have now started resurfacing in several parts of the city.

In July, the Corporation began a campaign to keep the walls free from posters. Until the first week of September, the civic body had removed 1,37,267 posters from 45,900 locations across the city.

While a large number of walls still remained clean, posters have reappeared at several places. A visit to some areas in central and southern parts of the city showed that the problem was particularly prevalent in sections of Anna Salai, Royapettah, Vadapalani, Kodambakkam, Taramani, and Velachery.
