Dear Devjani,

Here is the answer for your query:
Remove the defective plaster around the cracks, clean the crack area with wire brush or broom. Fill the cracks with cement mortar and does plaster which was removed. Finish the area with POP after proper curing. You can take the help from the an article on website http://www.gharexpert.com, link given below.
