Sandhya P, secretary, Federation of Annanagar Residents Associations (FOARA), said, "The Corporation thinks it's an innovative idea. But our people are intelligent enough to beat this, too. Give them time. The civic body should come up with strict rules and heavy fines."

K Raj Kumar of Nungambakkam said, "The spikes to prevent affixing posters may pose a danger to children and pedestrians and possibly a life-threatening situation in some extreme circumstances. Through these initiatives, the Chennai Corporation is wasting taxpayers' money and benefiting more from these contracts."

A zonal-level officer in the Teynampet zone said, "Throughout the city, to control the poster menace in view cutters, we welded the spikes at regular intervals. Out of 317, 157 view cutters are installed in the Teynampet zone. The spikes are installed in the view cutters in Nelson Manickam Road, Valluvar Kottam High Road and several other locations in main and interior roads."
