Jamshedpur: Sadbhavana Shanti March, a procession, was organized at Parsudih on Tuesday by local residents belonging to different communities in a bid to restore peace and normalcy in the area. The participants appealed to the residents asking them not to pay attention to rumours and maintain peace and harmony in their neighbourhood.

The procession started at Makdampur Chowk and moved through Busti Road, St. Rober�s School, Chandni Chowk, Parsudih Bazar, Triveni Chowk, Shitla Chowk and Gwala Busti before culminating at Makdampur. The residents carried placards and banners in their hands with appeal for peace and harmony.
