Telangana Minister Fined For Wishing KCR

TRS Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav has been fined with Rs 5000 for a hoarding wishing chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao a happy birthday.

The Challan has been issued by The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) on Saturday from the Directorate of Enforcement Vigilance and Disaster Management, under the provisions of GHMC Act for putting up a cutout on the necklace road to wish the CM with the words printed, “Happy Birthday Sir. We love KCR.”

Speaking about the fine, GHMC Deputy City Planner (Enforcement Wing) M Shyam Kumar said that they received a complaint on Twitter about the same after which the Challan was issued.

Ban on putting up of such hoardings was put when a young software engineer was killed in Chennai in September when an unauthorized hoarding put up by an AIADMK leader, with images of him and Tamil Nadu CM and deputy CM, fell on her after which she lost balance of her two-wheeler and fell on the road, and got hit by a water tanker behind her.

Meanwhile, IT minister KT Rama Rao appealed to the fellow ministers through his twitter account not to put hoardings and splurge on such ads, instead they should plant sapling to show their affection and gratitude.
