Removing election posters starts

Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) and Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) on Sunday started removing all the posters for restoring beauty of the city after the city polls held on February 1.

Candidates visually polluted the capital by pasting posters almost all walls and poles seeking votes.

Thousands of crore posters created visual pollution across the city as the candidates pasted them rampantly violating election rule on electrical poles, footbridges, boundaries and walls, sources said.

Md Zahid Hossain, chief waste management official of DSCC, said DSCC had started removing of the posters on Sunday and it would take eight/ten days as huge number of posters were displaying across the south city.
