For this purpose, eight locations such as both entrance and exit of LRH, KTH, Ashraf Road, Railway Headquarters Sadar, Rescue Headquarters, School No. 2 Hashtangri have been selected.
Arslan Bashir said that for this competition, a longest wall is first prepared by cleaning and then 10 to 15 portraits are made on it, which takes three to four hours or more.
