This Delhi Group Paints 'Wall of Shame' to Promote Awareness

A group of volunteers in Delhi have painted a public wall to deter people from spitting and littering around it.

New Delhi: A group of volunteers in Delhi have painted tribal murals on a public wall, which was once a 'wall of shame', to deter people from spitting and littering around it.

In an effort to beautify and clean the walls of the national capital, members of the Street Art group have painted a public wall using their own funds and gave it a much needed makeover.

They have painted a long stretch of wall in Khan Market and Gurgaon with folk and tribal art.

The wall that was once filthy now adds beautiful colours to the neighbourhood and flaunts an artistic message.

Neeraj Vaid, a member of the Delhi Street Art group said: "We have put in time, energy and hard work to beautify the city and hope this would deter people from urinating and messing these walls."

The group has also painted public dustbins to make them look nice and encourage people to use these instead of littering.

With a goal to promote social awareness, the group feels it their city, their responsibility.
