In an effort to beautify the town and showcase the glorious cultural heritage of the district, the Municipal Corporation in collaboration with the allied government departments has embarked on a wall painting project in Khammam.
The project envisages painting of impressive images depicting the rich folk art heritage and grandeur of the tribal art forms of the Telangana State.
The initiative gains significance in the backdrop of the special drive launched by the civic body to remove wall posters and graffiti on the walls of various government and private office buildings besides other structures across the town.
The wall painting campaign has been launched as per a specific suggestion made by Collector K Ilambarithi in this regard at a review meeting held here recently, sources added.

Impressive paintings highlighting the popular Bonalu and other folk art forms besides the Kommu Koya tribal dance form have already come up on the walls of some office buildings, private clubs and the flyover near the Mayuri Centre under the project.
