Greater Chennai Corporation workers cleared large structures in MRC Nagar that violated laws regulating public spaces.
Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) workers removed large cutouts of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSRCP supremo Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy in MRC Nagar on Thursday, according to reports by Rediff, Deccan Chronicle and Moneycontrol.
The cutouts were erected by YSRCP followers to welcome Reddy and Vijay for a family wedding of the former Chief Minister. It has not been officially confirmed if Vijay will attend the event.
An official stated that the removal was in line with a state policy to remove structures that hinder the public. The workers cleared the cutouts because they violated strict laws regulating public spaces.
The official added that the GCC has actively deployed workers to remove public banners and dangerous hoarding frames across city zones, coinciding with the northeast monsoon.
