Moved by the plight of the soldier, Sim and

Sam

, a

party zone

in the city, rose to the occasion by involving children in a fund-raising event, the proceeds of which were donated to the families of the troopers who were killed in the terrorist attack.

As part of the fundraiser, a play was organised for the CRPF in their Kompally and Pocharam branches, in which children aged up to 12 years participated enthusiastically.

The children, encouraged by parents, guardians and elders, also carried placards with messages like 'Salute Jawan' and 'We are with you Soldier'.
