CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) files a complaint against 4 private firms for posting advertisement on its pillars. these posters were stuck near Meenambakkam and Airport stations and along Vadapalani- Arumbakkam stretch.

According to release, pasting of posters on piers, barricades and other structures of Metro Rail project is illegal. Defaulters can be imprisoned for six months or a fine of `1,000 will be levied or both. “We have informed the public that such acts are illegal but despite this, several posters have been stuck on pillars,”  a CMRL official said.

While private firms are pulled up for this menace, political parties which are mainly responsible for posters on Metro rail walls and pillars have been left scot-free.
