Over 300 visually impaired and blind children took part in the event Walk in the Darkorganised in Aizawl in Mizoram. Among those who were present were well-known people as well.

The walk was kicked off by Mizoram Government's Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, Dr Lalnunthara. Professional footballers Jeje Lalpekhlua and Zohmingliana Ralte also joined in.
