New Delhi, Feb 24 (IANS) Around 500 graphic artists and painters Sunday expressed their thoughts in the form of graffiti and paintings on a kilometre-long wall on Delhi University’s north campus.

“The wallbook event will soon be made an annual event and will further move to Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Pune and Chennai,” said Menon.
