The Teliamura Sub-Divisional Administration has launched a special drive to remove political, government and religious publicity posters displayed in violation of the Model Code of Conduct ahead of the upcoming municipal elections.
In accordance with the Election Commission’s guidelines, the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is currently in force across the state. As part of the enforcement measures, the sub-divisional administration has stepped up efforts to ensure strict compliance with the electoral guidelines within the Teliamura Municipal Council area.
Under the Model Code of Conduct, political, government and religious publicity posters featuring political party leaders, ministers and other prominent personalities are prohibited from being displayed in municipal areas during the election period. Although various political parties had already been informed about the restrictions, several such posters were still found displayed at different locations.
Following this, the Teliamura Sub-Divisional administration launched a special removal drive on Sunday morning.
The operation was led by Teliamura Sub-Divisional Magistrate and Returning Officer (RO) for the 2026 Teliamura Municipal Council elections, Apurba Krishna Chakraborty.
Deputy CEO of Teliamura Municipal Council Pradip Kumar Sarkar, DCM Jinias Debbarma, a large contingent of police personnel from Teliamura Police Station, TSR forces and other officials engaged in election-related duties were also present during the drive.
During the operation, several posters found to be in violation of the Model Code of Conduct were removed from different locations across the municipal area.
The administration’s proactive enforcement drive is being viewed as a significant step towards ensuring free, fair and peaceful conduct of the forthcoming municipal elections.
