Bengaluru: Bengaluru North and Central city corporations removed 524 illegal flex boards, banners and hoardings on Monday.
North Corporation removed 473, with more than half (280) from Kodigehalli alone; 54 were removed from T Dasarahalli, 45 from Thanisandra, 38 from Jakkur, 35 from Attur, and 21 from Yelahanka Satellite Town.
In a similar drive on Tuesday, Bengaluru Central City Corporation removed 51 illegal hoardings and banners from skywalks and bus shelters.
Senior officials said they regularly remove illegal banners and flex boards to keep the city clean.
However, Kodigehalli residents noted that most banners were put up by political party workers for Sankranti greetings.
"Now that the festival is over, the corporation has removed them. Until last week, when flexes were put up every 100 metres, there was hardly any action," said a resident of Telecom Layout.
