Delhi elections: Over 3,000 public complaints of defacement

New Delhi: With the Delhi elections over a month away, posters and graffiti by political parties and their supporters have begun cropping up on public property and civic infrastructure - in violation of the law.

The putting up of posters or writing on walls goes against the Delhi Prevention of Defacement of Property Act, 2007. The act carries a fine of Rs.50,000 or one year imprisonment. But no one has been arrested so far.

"We get complaints of posters, pamphlets and wall writings defacing roadside walls, school walls, flyovers, and other public areas. These are not just limited to crowded areas like Kashmere Gate and Paharganj, but also in areas like ITO, Civil Lines and even outside government offices," said the official.
