The campaign has called for a ban on all illegal flex banners and posters and has urged the local government to take action to ensure that the city is kept clean and free from these eyesores. Close to 100 eminent personalities from Pune have signed an open letter to political leaders, commercial establishments, and organizations to remove illegal flexes and hoardings in the city by 31st January 2023. Over the last few weeks, the campaign also received support letters from thousands of individuals, housing societies, associations, and influencers.
The BJP and NCP have both expressed support for the campaign and have pledged to work together to ensure that the city remains free of illegal flex banners and posters. They have also committed to working with PPCR to ensure that all flex banners and posters are set up according to the law.
