Paying tributes to the martyrs of the country, the youth wing of the Mahan Sangha organised an awareness rally here on Thursday ahead of Diwali.
The members held the rally from the statue of Utkal Gaurav Madhubabu to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Gandhi Nagar. Sangha president Sushanta Sabat inaugurated the rally.
Now days, people are celebrating Diwali by bursting firecrackers, for which environment would be polluted, said Sabat. “By holding the procession, we are paying tributes to the martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of our nation. We are also creating awareness for a clean and green environment,” Sabat added.
Sangha youth wing secretary Pinaki Mishra, Archana Das, Swarup Mohanty and Satya Sahu coordinated the programme.
