Residents of Kalka town in Haryana, the gateway to the cool environs of Himachal Pradesh, have made a seemingly polite request to politicians. They have put up banners outside their homes and shops asking leaders not to seek votes.
“Kripya vote maang kar sharminda mat karen” (Please don’t embarrass us by asking for votes) say the banners that have been prominently displayed outside most buildings.
The residents are up in arms against a demolition drive carried out by local authorities against their illegal structures at the orders of a court.
The order was aimed at constructions encroaching upon the busy Chandigarh-Shimla national highway that were resulting in frequent traffic jams. People are upset that politicians did not help when the demolition was being carried out.
