Organizers of Peace March Meet in Delhi

Indian organizers of the Peace March met in Delhi to take stock of the current state. This is a brief report on their discussions and resolutions.

Those who met include Ramneek Mohan, Harsh Vardhan, Anil Chaudary, Sandeep Pandey, and Gurdayal Singh Sheetal.

The organizers have not yet received a priori permissions from both governments guaranteeing visas for the marchers. The marchers will use the usual channels to apply for visas – the nature of the peace march depends on the kind of visas issued.

If visas are issued that constrain the visiting marchers to specific cities then events will have to be organized at those cities.

If visas are not granted then the Indian marchers will proceed to Wagah and Pakistani marchers will take the march to Multan.

Organizers have started the process of preparing leaflets, posters and other literature on peace for distribution along the way.

Organizers have made an open call for material – stories, poems, etc – to be included in a booklet. They can be sent to thesouthasian@gmail.com

Organizers will also contact local schools, colleges and other organizations to increase outreach and participation along the route of the march.
