Amaravati : Shriram Sena took out a procession on the day of Ram-Navami in the city. They extended invitation to Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) for joining so as to take out the procession in disciplined manner. HJS activists have experience of taking out such processions peacefully without causing disturbance to traffic. 6 young women attending self-defence classes conducted by HJS, staged demos during the procession on use of sticks, chain etc. This led to generating feeling of valour and enthusiasm for taking out the procession.
