The march will begin at 5 pm from Balgandharva Rangmandir and conclude at Swatantryaveer Savarkar Smarak Chowk.

About The Protest…

The incident has triggered strong public anger across the city. Organisers said the march is being held to send a strong message to the administration and judicial system that society stands united against crimes against women and children.

According to the organisers, the protest will be completely peaceful and conducted in silence. Several groups have appealed to parents, students and citizens to participate in large numbers to demand justice for the victim and strict action against the accused.

The victim’s father also appealed to citizens to join the march with their families.

“A monster snatched our daughter away from us. Even today, there is total silence in our house, but it is not silence; it is a daily death. I humbly request all parents to participate in the silent peace march,” he said.
