With the lifting of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by the Election Commission following the Assembly elections, wall posters, banners, and graffiti have resurfaced across Tiruchi, Tamil Nadu. This resurgence has raised concerns about the defacement of public spaces, as areas like the Tiruchi-Chennai Bypass and Central Bus Stand are once again covered with political advertisements. The Tiruchi Corporation had previously conducted drives to remove such materials to uphold election norms, but the poster culture has returned. Residents and civic activists argue that this practice detracts from the city's appearance and hampers cleanliness efforts. Despite beautification initiatives, including painted overbridge walls, political and private advertisements continue to mar public property. In response, the Corporation is reestablishing enforcement measures, deploying sanitary workers daily to clear posters and create designated advertisement spaces to discourage illegal wall pasting. Officials plan to intensify enforcement in the coming days to tackle this issue effectively.
