GURUGRAM: Frustrated by the mess, residents are now demanding that either the contesting candidates or the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) take up the responsibility of cleaning up the city.

From main roads and street corners to residential colonies and commercial areas, election material continued to hang from walls, electricity poles, and even trees.

In several areas, campaign posters were pasted on private properties without consent, leaving homeowners scrambling to remove them.

"The elections are over, but the mess left behind is a clear violation of civic norms. Candidates and their teams should be held accountable for cleaning up the very spaces that they used to seek votes," said Vinod Tayal, a resident of DLF Phase 2.
