VARANASI: Residents foil terrorist designs: The bid by terrorists to create communal havoc and spread panic through bomb blasts here on March 7 seems to have failed, judging by the exemplary show of solidarity put up by the citizens of this holy city. Not only did the people foil the nefarious designs of the terrorists but they also snubbed the political leaders who tried to gain political mileage out of the situation.

Leading citizens, intellectuals, businessmen, youth activists, social workers and cultural bodies organised a number of peace marches, meetings and candlelight processions to drive home the message of communal harmony and unity. Mahant Bhawani Nandan, chief of the Haathiyaram math, has taken the lead in organising prayers for those killed in the blasts.
