Over 1,700 students participated in a peace rally to commemorate Hiroshima Day in Mumbai on Thursday. The rally, organised by Bombay Sarvodaya Mandal, began from Azad Maidan and culminated at Hutatma Chowk in south Mumbai.

"The children took a pledge to work for a nuclear-free world and create awareness about the holocaust," said TRK Somaiya of the Bombay Sarvodaya Mandal.
