Muktsar, March 6
More than 24 hours after the code of conduct came into force for the Lok Sabha elections, hoardings of political parties continue to dot the main roads in the district.

Though the Deputy Commissioner had yesterday held a meeting with the representatives of various political parties and directed them to remove their posters and banners, the latter seem to be in mood to relent.
Be it national highway or any main road of the town, hoardings, stickers and posters of political parties are still visible in Malout, Muktsar, Gidderbaha and Lambi assembly constituencies, which fall in Ferozepur, Faridkot and Bathinda parliamentary constituencies.

The pictures of the Chief Minister on reverse osmosis water treatment plants are also yet to be covered at some places. Similarly, overhead water tanks painted blue and yellow (colours associated with the SAD) are yet to be covered.
