Ajay Chauhan, 14, was one of the bravehearts who sacrificed his life to save others on the fateful day of July 26 when 17 serial blasts
ripped apart the city's peace.
Chauhan died in the Civil Hospital blast when he was offering water pouches to blast victims at the hospital. Chauhan's family was among many who were awarded with 'Salaam Awards' for their heroic acts by city based Society for Prevention of Rationality (SPRAT) at Darpana Academy on Friday.
The award is to celebrate the spirit of solidarity and heroism shown by ordinary men and women during the serial blasts that ripped through Ahmedabad.
One of the awardees and blast victim, Balchandra Goswami, father of Chandan Goswami who died when he was standing in queue for blood donation at Civil hospital said, "We lost our only son to this insane act of terror. It has become difficult for us to restart our shattered lives, my only support has been snatched away by terrorists."
A giant banner signed by over 3,000 Muslims and Hindus from various cities in Gujarat, declaring solidarity and condemning terrorism was unfurled by victims of the 2002 genocide, underlining the universality of violence and suffering on the occasion.
