Chennai: “Let the death of my daughter be the last one to this banner culture in the state,” pleads R Ravi, father of 23-yearold techie Subashree who was killed when an illegal hoarding fell and knocked her off her bike and under the wheels of a water tanker on September 12.
On the Madras high court decision to allow the state government to put up hoardings and banners to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese president Xi-Jinping, who are visiting Mamallapuram on Octobber 11, 12 and 13.
Ravi said, “The Prime Minister and the Chinese President may not even look at any of these hoardings as their cars speed by. There are lots of traditional ways to welcome any chief guest according to Tamil culture.
“They can engage musicians and dancers to perform traditional folk arts to welcome our guests. Why should they want to put up hoardings, which are not even found in any other countries. PM Modi has visited many countries and witnessed the warm welcome by native people.
“This Madras high court permission to the state government to install banners and hoardings without hindering public will led to others citing this exception to knock at the doors of the high court.”
