Children take part in a special prayer to pay homage to the victims of Peshawar massacre, in Ongole.

In a gentle gesture, children came together to hold special prayer for the victims of Peshawar massacre here.

The children lit candles and wished that the souls of the 141 persons, including 132 children, killed in Pakistan recently, rest in peace. Pastor S. Gundamma led a candle light service on the occasion.

Worried over increasing number of violent incidents across the world, the children said better sense should prevail on the elders so that they eschewed violence.

It was unfortunate that innocent children were targeted for no fault of theirs, they said and vowed to make the world a better place to live in.
