Subway Spotfix II - Dabri Mor

Date: 27-Mar-16 Number of Volunteers: 4 You must remember or must have seen our subway spotfix at Dabri Mor on 13-Mar-16 . We'd removed posters from that subway entrance wall and repainted it to restore it. We did the same activity on the other side of the subway this time. Few posters, yes. But they make the job even more labourious. Why? Because they're firmly stuck to the wall and removing them is no easy task. But our volunteers can still do it! Metal plates and metal brushes were used to remove these posters. Our team in action. Wetting those posters with water helps soften their grip on the wall. After that removing them is easy. Our volunteers repainting the wall to restore it to its original state. It's important to have these black and yellow stripes as it's turn and these stripes serve as a caution for drivers. Few volunteers but tremendous work done.

Subway Spotfix - Dabri Mor

Date: 13-Mar-2016 Number of Volunteers: 21 This subway entrance wall was covered with layers of posters. This subway is at a turn and is coloured with black and yellow stripes indicating caution, but the posters hid their significance beneath them. Our volunteers gathered on Sunday morning and removed all the posters and then painted the wall in its original colours. Few of the volunteers joined us from the crowd including four children. These children had helped us earlier also with cleaning Dabri Mor Flyover pillars ( https://www.facebook.com/pg/WeMeanToCleanMeetup/photos/?tab=album&album_id=733960576736510 ). We had also requested Pioneer Academy to help us in removing their own posters. Although they'd agreed to help but sadly none came from their end. After five hours of dedicated work we were able to restore the wall. Inspired? Then join us: http://wmtc.org.in
