XLRI, Jamshedpur Sets Out on Peace March to Condemn Terrorism

The faculty and students of XLRI Jamshedpur went on a peace march through the streets of Jamshedpur on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti in order to protest against the series of bomb-blasts that have taken place across the country over the last three months. Similar peace marches took place in cities all over the country, as students of prominent institutes took to the streets to show that they were not indifferent to the blasts and were in no way complacent.

Faculty & Students of XLRI, Jamshedpur Organizing Peace March on the Ocassion of Gandhi Jayanti

The students intended to raise awareness amongst the people and generate support for the measures that are being taken to fight terrorism. They also wanted the government to release more information about the issue, so that people could help in devising necessary measures against terrorism.

The march started from the XLRI campus at 6:30 PM. Led by faculty members, the students walked in silence from the XLRI campus to the nearby Bistupur market, where they distributed pamphlets to the people. The pamphlets contained figures on bomb-blasts over the past few years, along with the key messages that the students were trying to convey through the march. After distributing the pamphlets, the students and faculty came back to the campus and lit candles as a sign of their concern for the affected people.

Concluded.
