ISLAMABAD, Dec 23 (APP):The drive to remove wall chalking and posters from Islamabad Express Highway and other major roads is continuing, as Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration seeks public cooperation to keep the city orderly.
Officials have asked residents, political groups, traders, and advertisers to follow the ban on wall chalking and avoid placing posters on public property, said the spokesman of ICT administration here.
He said that the operation is being carried out on Islamabad Express Highway, service roads, underpasses, bridges, and other key routes across the capital.
Teams are removing painted slogans, handwritten messages, banners, and pasted material from boundary walls, flyovers, traffic signs, and public buildings. The effort is part of an ongoing plan to ensure that public spaces remain clear and usable for all citizens.
According to officials, wall chalking and posters damage public property and create visual clutter. Such practices also increase maintenance costs for civic bodies, which must spend time and public funds to clean walls and structures.
Authorities said that the ban on wall chalking is already in place and warned that violations will lead to action under existing rules.
The administration has stated that the removal work will continue in phases and will be expanded to more sectors and roads.
Authorities also appealed to residents to report wall chalking and illegal posters in their areas. Complaints can help teams respond quickly and take corrective steps. Officials believe that community support is necessary to make the campaign effective and lasting.
The administration reiterated that clean roads and clear walls contribute to better movement, safer driving conditions, and improved use of public spaces.
