Youth were seen raising slogans of 'Jai Sri Ram', Bharat Mata Ki Jai', 'Vande Mataram' as the yatra passed through lanes and bylanes of Mangalhat and other areas.
The yatra passed through Dhoolpet, Puranapool, Jumerat Bazar, Chudi Bazar, Begum Bazaar, Siddiamber Bazar, Gowliguda, Koti. It concluded at a public meeting at Hanuman Vyayamshala.
