Pune: PPCR demands removal of illegal hoardings, writes letter to politicians, PMC and organisations
Pune: Members of the Pune Platform for Collaborative Response (PPCR) have written a letter addressing all the politicians, NGO’s, organisations as well as Pune Municipal Corporation requesting them to remove hoardings that affect pedestrian movement and are also non-biodegradable and an environmental hazard.
The letter states, “We write to you seeking an immediate intervention and direction to remove the unauthorized and unwanted political & commercial hoardings, flex boards, advertisements, cut outs, buntings, hangings, billboards, etc., mushrooming in many areas in and around our premises, causing visual pollution, inconveniencing citizens, and irrevocable damage to the environment.”
The letter further states, “As members of the Pune Platform for Collaborative Response, we appeal to all political leaders, organizations, commercial establishments, individuals, public or private organizations, and institutions, to ensure the immediate removal of all such illegal hoardings/flex/promotions.”
While the PPCR members have directed that if with immediate action the hoardings will not be removed then they will take a legal action. The letter mentioned, “If we do not see immediate action in the removal of these illegal hoardings/cutouts before 31st January 2023, we will be obligated to take legal actions against the involved political party, sponsor, facilitator, as well as the individual showcased in the illegal flex/cutout/hoarding,” the letter stated.
“We started this campaign, two three weeks ago and we asked the societies to give information about illegally flexes in their areas. And now we have written a letter addressing all the political patties putting up illegal hoardings. And we will be giving these letters to senior leaders of Political parties,” said member of PPCR.
