Raipur, Oct 23: Complying with the order of the
Election Commission, Chhattisgarh government has removed all
the hoardings put up by it displaying its achievement ahead of
the December 1 poll while DAVP has sought time for removal of
central government's billboards, election office sources said
here today.
The EC had ordered on October 13 to the state government
to remove all its hoardings in ten days time and the state
government has informed the state election office that it had
removed all the hoardings, the sources told a news agency here.
In the entire state, 1241 hoardings were put up
displaying the achievement of the state government in various
fields but with the order of the commission all these
hoardings have been removed, the state government said.
Meanwhile, on the hoardings by the central government,
DAVP has sought more time to remove them and keeping
that in mind all the district collectors have been informed by
the State Election Office to remove that from their fund and a
bill may be sent to DAVP for payment, the sources said.
BJP took objection to the state government hoardings in
the state ahead of the December one poll as they said it
contains promotional matters, along with the photograph of the
Chief Minister Ajit Jogi, which violates the model code of
conduct.
