Patiala, January 8 The Patiala Municipal Corporation has launched a campaign against illegal hoardings in the city today. Mayor Ajit Pal Singh Kohli and Municipal Commissioner MP Arora personally supervised the whole campaign.

The Mayor said, “We have given enough time to defaulters and since they have not turned up, we have started confiscating their hoardings. Nobody can take the corporation for a ride therefore we have decided to start the campaign.”

Meanwhile, MC officials removed all illegal hoardings on the stretch from Leela Bhawan to Thapar College and later near Sherawala Gate. “We have been issued clear instructions and the campaign would stop only after the city gets rid of the hoarding menace,” said officials.

The corporation team was tough on numerous hoardings that were fixed on ground. While majority of them were torn apart, many were confiscated by the corporation.
