VILLUPURAM: The exercise of erasing the defacement of walls and other public places in Villupuram district has begun.
District Collector R.Palanisamy has stated that in the recently convened all-party meeting it was informed that the campaign materials put up in the public places, including wall writings, should be removed within 48 hours.
