A patch of Velachery Main Road, near the Pallikaranai marsh, has turned into a canvas that supports a pictorial campaign to promote COVID-appropriate behaviour. R. Sriram, a painter, and his two childhood friends — K. Anand, an autorickshaw driver and S. Sridhar, a carpenter — are painting life-size images that exhort passersby to wear face masks, maintain social distance, and be alert to the early symptoms of the Coronavirus infection and ensure cleanliness. The trio started the work when the lockdown began on May 10, 2021 and they seem to have covered much artistic ground.
