Dear Friends, Sticking of posters, banners, wall-writings on the properties in public view, is violation of the provisions of Delhi Prevention of Defacement of Property Act, 2007 (which has come into force w.e.f. 01.04.2009) and is a cognizable offence. However, it is silent on the existing posters.
Delhi is littered with posters. *During rains, these posters get soggy and can be easily removed.* MCD made use of this opportunity and had a POSTER FREE DAY on 24 Aug when a team of about 20 persons led by an inspector ( in each of the 12 Zones) removed banners and posters. I had spent about 2 hours with a team in South Zone and got the Malviya Ngr Mkt Rd cleaned. I realised that this is a massive task and cannot be accomplished unless every citizen is aware of this. *Hon'ble CM has made an appeal about the posters in the Bhagidari monthly news letter. *RWAs, MTAs, IAs and village groups under the Bhagidari cannot do it alone. We have to use all resources. I request all of you to motivate your friends, relatives, staff at home / work to be a part of this KAR SEWA and come out immediately after the rains and clear all posters around your area. *As the rains are almost over, an urgent action is requested to make use of the few showers still expected. Pl send this mail to all Delhi residents in your address folder. * I am enclosing a photo showing the local security guard who is removing the posters after the rains. A line in confirmation is requested. regards Col Shivraj Founder member Bhagidari and Past President Munirka Vihar 210 Munirka Vihar New Delhi-110067 Phone: 9810433842 * *
