The Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC) in Andhra Pradesh, India, has initiated a campaign to remove illegal posters and banners from public spaces. Municipal Commissioner K. Mayur Ashok emphasized the importance of public participation in maintaining urban aesthetics and announced the formation of 12 special enforcement teams to monitor violations.

Offenders will also be required to clean and repaint affected areas at their own expense. The GMC has conducted awareness meetings with local printers and organizations, instructing them not to produce wall posters without proper permissions. Additionally, all flex banners must display the printer's details to avoid legal repercussions. Citizens are encouraged to report violations to the GMC's call center at 0863-2345103.
