He performed 300-odd songs in various languages including Malayalam, Hindi and Tamil.

Urging the State and Union governments to take effective steps to curb the stray dog issue, he performed in the city from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

The programme was conducted in a lorry at various points, including Town Hall, Press Club, Sakthan Nagar bus stand Sakthan Market in the city.
