Maharashtra Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Wednesday said the police and civic authorities are free to take action against "unauthorised" hoardings that have been put up in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad to wish him on his birthday.

Scores of hoardings have been put up in Pune and neighbouring Pimpri Chinchwad wishing Pawar and Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis, who share a birthday on July 22.
