Mumbai: Ahead of the first anniversary of
26/11 terror attack, Fashion designer-turned-politician Shaina
NC has appealed the GenNext, who are used to post scraps on
social networking sites, to write messages remembering the day
on a wall in Chandanwadi in south Mumbai.
Explaining her initiative, the BJP leader told, "We
want people to remember all those killed by terrorists. We
have approached several college students and artists to paint
the wall or write messages."
It is our way to pay artistic tribute to the victims of
26/11. The wall will be open to public to paint messages and
pictures associated with the Mumbai terror attacks last year,
she said.
"The Wall Project invites Mumbaikars to express
themselves in colour on the city's walls. The project asks
people to paint the wall running along a one-km wall in
Chandanwadi in Marine Lines in south Mumbai.
'I Love Mumbai', a city-based NGO has sought permission
from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to allow
Mumbaikars to paint the wall.
"Hundreds of students from J J College of Arts, Raheja
College and other colleges are coming forward for this
initiative. Apart from this, few artists have also shown keen
interest for it," she said.
