Agartala, 15th November 2026 : With the upcoming municipal elections approaching, the Model Code of Conduct is currently in force across Tripura in accordance with the Election Commission’s directives.
As part of efforts to ensure strict compliance with the code in the Teliamura Municipal Council area, the subdivision administration launched a special drive on Sunday morning to remove posters violating election guidelines.
Under the Model Code of Conduct, political, government-related and religious promotional posters featuring political party leaders, ministers and other prominent personalities are prohibited from remaining displayed in municipal areas during the election period.
The administration had previously informed various political parties about the relevant guidelines. However, as several posters continued to remain displayed at different locations, the authorities initiated the removal drive on Sunday.
The operation was led by Teliamura Sub-Divisional Magistrate and Returning Officer for the 2026 Teliamura Municipal Council elections, Apurba Krishna Chakraborty.
Teliamura Municipal Council Deputy CEO Pradip Kumar Sarkar, DCM Jinius Debbarma, a large contingent of police personnel and Tripura State Rifles (TSR) jawans, along with other officials engaged in election duties, were also present during the drive.
During the operation, posters and promotional materials displayed at various locations in violation of the Model Code of Conduct were removed.
The administration’s initiative is being viewed as an important step towards ensuring that the upcoming municipal elections are conducted in a free, fair and peaceful manner.
