A most unusual flash mob
Delhi University Students for Peace pick up pace ahead of their August plans
The theatre crew of the Delhi University Students for Peace organised a Flash Mob for India-Pakistan peace early Sunday morning, July 13, 2014 at Connaught Place, New Delhi, as part of the city’s first ever ‘Raahgiri Day’.
This innovative model, involving city officials, police department and civil society, aims to reduce pollution and promote healthy outdoor activities like cycling, skating, walking, jogging, while blocking the traffic on a particular route, for a few hours.
A sizeable crowd participated in the activities, and many enthusiastically joined the Flash Mob for India-Pakistan peace.
DU Students for Peace plan to cycle to Wagah, starting on August 1, to celebrate the Indian and Pakistani Independence Days with their counterparts from across the border. They want to ride the way to Lahore University and Qaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad.
The convener, Praveen Kumar Singh, a student of MA Buddhist Studies at DU, says that “The idea is to bring the countries of the region together in a confederation on the lines of European Union.”
