The Guwahati Municipal Corporation decided to wrap them with plastic sheets on Wednesday after getting exasperated by repeated painting of the road dividers to keep the city clean and tidy ahead of the visit by Japanese PM.
The polythene covers, however, did not deter some people from spitting on the dividers though the plastic sheets kept the newly painted separators untouched, corporation sources said.
Municipal workers told media persons visiting the area that some people “with no civic sense” lower their car windows and slow their two-wheelers to spit paan on the dividers.
Some people were of the view including college students that such people should be booked and slapped hefty fines so that it is a deterrent for others who should think twice before defacing public property.
