Following an encouraging good response from residents to wall paintings on a small stretch of Anna Salai at Nandanam, as part of its city beautification plan, the Chennai Corporation has proposed to extend the project to the other parts of the city. The colorful paintings depict the State’s rich cultural heritage.The civic body planned to replicate the paintings in subways and flyovers, once the ban on wall posters and graffiti in subways and flyovers comes into effect on August 1.
A senior Corporation official of the Saidapet zone said that they had been receiving good response from the public. The perimeter of the golf course at Nandanam has given a wider canvas to showcase the rich heritage of the State.
The variety of images there included a painting of the golf sport, which was done on request. To add color, the civic body has installed figurines showcasing the State’s martial and folk arts in eight places in the city, including Sterling Road, Gemini Flyover, Valluvar Kottam and near Connemara Library.
