The authorities have begun removing the hoardings and the posters put up by the political parties across Uttar Pradesh as the model code of conduct has come into effect with the Election Commission announcing polls dates for the State.
“The model code of conduct has been implemented in the State, and it will be followed. All District Magistrates (district election officers) have been given the responsibility to implement it. They will be sending their reports on a regular basis,” Chief Electoral Officer Ajay Kumar Shukla told PTI on Sunday.
Lucknow DM Abhishek Prakash said as per the ECI directives, the model code of conduct has been implemented, and it will be strictly adhered to. Instructions have been sent to the municipal commissioner of Lucknow, he said.
