JAMMU, Oct 3: President Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI) Rakesh Gupta has alleged that Jammu city has been defaced by the contesting candidates by pasting posters and flags everywhere even at sign boards and Govt and private properties.
In an urgent communication sent to Shaleen Kabra, Chief Electoral Officer J&K, the JCCI president complained regarding defacement of the city by the contesting candidates for Jammu Municipal Corporation elections and their supporters.
The Chamber president sought immediate intervention and action under election rules against the violators. Gupta said JCCI has received several complaints, not only from the business community but from public at large that the contesting candidates in the ongoing election process for the Jammu Municipal Corporation have literary defaced the whole city not only by pasting stickers on the walls and gates of private houses but on public property as well.
“We fail to understand that these candidates who are promising in the Election manifesto to keep city clean and carry on developments have resorted to such actions going unchecked and we feel that this is open violation of election rules and bad in eyes of law,” Gupta said.
He urged upon the Election authorities to take urgent note of this and pass on strict orders to the Municipal Commissioner, JMC and the DGP for strict compliance.
