Several progressive organisations of Shivamogga have joined hands to take out a march in Shivamogga city to spread the importance of harmony ahead of Ganesha Chaturthi and Id-Milad.
They will take out the march titled – Souhardave Habba – (harmony is itself a festival) from Shivamogga Institute of Medical Sciences to the Science College grounds on Friday. The march will be followed by a peace meeting in which representatives of all religions and leaders of several organisations will take part.
K.P. Sripal, an advocate and one of the organisers, in a press conference in Shivamogga on Wednesday said that this year Ganesha Chaturthi and Id-Milad would be celebrated on the same day. “People of both communities have to celebrate the festival with pomp and gaiety. Hence, we are taking out a march to highlight the necessity of harmony”, he said.
