Our proof is based upon $4$-coloring of a quadrilateralization graph, and it is similar to that of {\it J. Kahn} and others [SIAM J. Algebraic Discrete Methods 4, 194--206 (1983; Zbl 0533.05021)] for orthogonal polygons without holes. Consequently, we provide an alternate proof of Aggarwal's theorem asserting that $\left\lfloor{n+h\over 4}\right\rfloor$ vertex guards always suffice to cover any $n$-vertex orthogonal polygon with $h \le 2$ holes.}, identifier = {05014317}, }
