Global sportswear giant Puma was accused on Tuesday of irreversibly damaging 17th-century architecture in Delhi’s historic quarter as part of an advertising stunt to promote a new line of shoes. The facades of several buildings in Old Delhi have been spray-painted with large colourful murals for the shoe campaign. “It’s a heritage area. You can’t just go and paint what you like,” said Swapna Liddle from the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage.
