Jodhpur Peace March

Dec 2005

The Peace March from Jodhpur to the international border at Munabao was organized by the National Committee and the Rajasthan’s state chapter of the Forum in December 2005. A similar march was organized by the Pakistani chapter to Khokrapar on the Pakistani side. The peace marchers on the Indian side went in buses and on foot to different towns and villages en route to Munabao and held meetings to mobilize public opinion in favour of reopening the rail connection between Jodhpur and Karachi. More than a thousand people assembled at the Munabao border and held a public meeting there. Members of the Pakistan Chapter also did the same on the other side of the border. The rail service was begun by both the governments in Feb 2006.
