Following Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals of non-violence, cooperation and peaceful coexistence will help the country reach greater heights, Deputy Commissioner K.V. Thrilokchandra said.
He was addressing a Gandhi Jayanthi programme organised jointly by district administration, zilla panchayat and City Municipal Council (CMC) at Gandhi Park here on Sunday.
Gandhiji led the country to freedom through non-violence. His simple way of life and deeds are worth emulating, he said, adding that solution to many of today’s problem can be found in his life.
