Jahangirpuri residents hold ‘Tiranga Yatra’ to spread message of peace and communal harmony

In a bid to spread a message of peace and communal harmony, around 200 residents of riot-hit Jahangirpuri on Sunday took out a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in the area with shops and houses in the locality hoisting the tricolour to commemorate the event.

The yatra started at around 6 p.m. with both Hindu and Muslim residents seen holding the tricolour and chanting slogans such as “ Hindu Muslim Sikh Isai Aapas Me Hai Bhai Bhai” and “ Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.

The march, which consisted of both elderly and children, started from the C-Block roundabout opposite Kushal Cinema, following which it went towards the B Block market. The crowd eventually headed towards the Hindu-majority G Block and ended the yatra, after around 30 minutes.
