Election Code Violations Addressed: Over 1,500 Illegal Campaign Materials Removed in Janakpurdham

Posters, banners, stickers, and flags displayed in public spaces in the Janakpurdham area, violating the election code of conduct, have been removed. Following repeated complaints to the Election Office, the concerned political parties and candidates were urged to remove the promotional materials themselves.

When this request was ignored, the District Police Office stated that more than 1,500 illegal promotional materials were removed on Saturday while monitoring within the Janakpurdham Metropolitan City area.

According to the police, the campaign materials pasted on public spaces, electricity poles, walls, and government structures were deemed contrary to the election code of conduct. Deputy Superintendent of Police Ganesh Bahadur Bam, spokesperson for the District Police Office, informed that the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) was the party with the most code of conduct violations during the monitoring.

He added that regular monitoring is being carried out because the Election Office has warned that legal action may be taken against parties and candidates who do not adhere to the code of conduct.

Furthermore, local administration, police, and other concerned bodies have urged all parties to be responsible to ensure a fair, independent, and clean election. The administration has clarified that monitoring will continue in the coming days and strict action will be taken if violations are repeated.
