Illegal banners are like the proverbial bad penny; they keep turning up. The Dahisar-DN Nagar Metro pillars were only recently wiped clean of posters following a report in this paper. That effect was short-lived though, as the adverts have resurfaced already on the pillars along the Kandivli-Borivli stretch.

Ganeshotsav is nearly over, but the festive season has only just begun, and you can bet that the city will see a huge number of posters dotting the city, with every small and big politician smiling beatifically at irked citizens, wishing them a happy this and a happy that.
