TURA: Citizens of Resubelpara and Mendipathar on Wednesday, organised a one-day solidarity prayer movement for the victims of the Sri Lanka terror attacks which witnessed a gathering of hundreds of people at Mendipathar Railway Station.
With hundreds of candles lit, prayers were offered for the departed souls and for the speedy recovery of the injured. The solemn event was jointly organised by the various churches of North Garo Hills.
