Opposition from the people: While removing the hoardings the officers of MCC get opposition from the people in several areas. At Urvastore while take off the big Banner of Sharada some local organizations opposed the workers. And they said that the MCC is not removing the political banner which was hanging around the city from long period. But now it was just one day has over after the Sharada Mahotsav. By removing the banner the MCC trying to insult us they said in anger.
In some other place the people do not allow the MCC people to remove the banners, the people only removed it.
