LUCKNOW: Lucknow Municipal Corporation will slap a fine of Rs 500 on anybody, including political and social organisations, caught putting up posters or writing on walls of public and private buildings in the city.

The corporation also launched a campaign to clean defaced walls in the wake of the ongoing Swachhta Survey.

LMC is aiming to bag the top rank this year.

Municipal commissioner, Indramani Tripathi , “Teams of LMC officials would patrol the city at night, which is when most of the posters are put up. Those caught on spot will be asked for contact details of their employers and LMC will fine the latter.”

If the violators are political parties or leaders, the leaders who ordered the cadre to violate rules will be penalised. “If the name of the leader is missing, LMC will send a challan to the party office,” Tripathi said.
