TNGOs refuse to remove posters at Collectorate

April 02, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:48 am IST - KARIMNAGAR:

In spite of Collector Neetu Kumari Prasad giving clear instructions to all sections of society that no person should paste or erect vinyl posters or hoardings on the public properties, the TNGOs’ district unit leaders and other organisations have erected huge posters hailing the election of their union leaders on the Collectorate premises in Karimnagar.

The employees unions also have erected huge posters on the entrance and inside the Collectorate.

Ironically, these posters have covered the hoardings erected to educate the people about the government welfare schemes and other programmes. The employees seem to be more concerned about the union elections than educating the people about the government policies and welfare schemes.

Lok Satta Udyama Samstha district president N. Srinivas found fault with the government employees for erecting huge vinyl posters of their unions on the Collectorate premises.

He said that the unions should erect such posters on their own union buildings located in various parts of the town, but not on the public properties.

However, a TNGOs leader found nothing wrong in putting up a poster on the premises and says “What’s wrong if we erect our union office-bearers election posters on the Collectorate premises. After all, we are all government employees and the leaders, who will be elected, are also government employees. There are several posters and hoardings in other parts of the town, but no action was initiated by the authorities concerned, he added.

Posters of employee union elections still don the walls in spite of a warning from the Collector
