On learning about this incident, the Madras High Court reportedly slammed the government for its failures for implementing orders regarding the illegal political hoardings. The court has in the past issued multiple orders to political against the erecting hoardings and banners on the roads. According to the rules, hoardings can be erected after sorting permission from the police and two weeks prior to placing it. Moreover, the letter granting permission should be displayed on them. However, the high court’s order does not allow to flex banner on living persons to be erected on the road.
DMK president MK Stalin tweeted on this issue, warning his party against erecting banners and those violating will be severely prosecuted.
