Srinagar city has turned shabby as the walls of various public and private buildings are defaced with utter disregard to aesthetics or the law prohibiting the same.In a move to curb this disfigurement, Srinagar Municipal Corporation has issued fresh instructions to everyone warning against defacing the city or illegally using the spaces for advertising.In almost every area of the city, walls along the roads and buildings are defaced with graffiti or posters pasted without any authorization.Majority of them advertising coaching centres, the posters are seen on walls, lampposts, and flyover pillars giving the overall ambience a shabby look. Besides, several promotional hoardings are erected on electricity poles and roadside walls.
