The Delhi municipal authorities have begun decorating drab public walls in the city, including those of garbage dumps, with thematic paintings and murals for the G20 summit and meetings scheduled in 2023.
Some of the murals have come up in the last few days, including one near Gandhi Darshan at Rajghat.
"We have started the work to decorate the city with artistic murals for the G20 events and the summit later in 2023. Beautiful paintings have been done on public walls at many locations, and walls of 'dhalaos' (dump yards) are also getting adorned with artwork to enhance the look and feel of the city," a senior official of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) told PTI.
The 'dhalao' near Gandhi Darshan was, until a few days ago, a spot passers-by would avoid, but now, it has become a "sort of a head turner" complete with fresh bright coloured walls.
This mural depicts the famous monuments from various countries which are part of the influential G20 grouping.
