In the run-up to the parliamentary elections, political parties in Coimbatore intensify their campaigning efforts. Notably, poster hotspots at Lanka Corner and other areas are now covered with green cloth, signaling a potential shift towards artistic displays.
Coimbatore: With the parliamentary elections drawing near, political parties are ramping up their campaigning activities, with posters playing a crucial role in this electoral fervor. In today’s digital age, traditional posters remain a significant medium for political parties to voice opposition and assert their influence among the masses.
In Coimbatore, strategic locations like Lanka Corner, Nanjappa Road, Kottaimedu, and Race Course Police Station Road are popular for political poster displays. Lanka Corner, in particular, being a pivotal junction that leads to the railway station, government hospital, and Town Hall, ensures high visibility for any posters displayed, reaching a wide audience effortlessly.
However, today (March 14), municipal authorities have taken an unconventional step by covering the usual poster spots in the Lanka Corner area entirely with green cloth. This move is part of the city’s ongoing efforts to beautify Coimbatore and prevent the visual pollution typically caused by the rampant pasting of posters across municipal areas. Previously, the city administration had imposed a ban on posters in an attempt to preserve the city's aesthetics, which led to the walls designated for posters being adorned with colorful murals instead.
With the current coverage of these spots with green cloth, there is an anticipation that these areas might soon become canvases for art murals, further enhancing the city's visual appeal and possibly indicating a shift away from traditional political poster campaigns towards more artistic expressions of public and political messages.
