This also happens to be the first anniversary of another major crisis in the life of the city – the unprecedented rains and water logging a year back in which about five hundred lost their lives. The chain would culminate in a peace gathering at the Gateway, which would take a vow to stand firmly united against mindless and obnoxious violence targeting innocents.
