Meghalaya Mahila Pradesh Congress Committee held a candle light vigil at Khyndailad junction to express solidarity with the martyred CRPF jawans in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.
Joining in the protest former legislator and General Secretary of MMPC, Deborah Marak said that they have come out to stand in solidarity and also to condemn the terror attack.
Candles were lit and prayers were offered as many mourned the death of the brave souls and felt for the bereaved families. Volunteers passed on the candles to whoever was interested to pay homage to the departed souls.
