The march began from the Agra Municipal Corporation office near Soor Sadan auditorium, and inched towards MG Road before ending at the Shahid Smarak, where the marchers burnt the official Lok Pal bill and observed a two minute silence for the martyrs.

 Students from various institutions comprised the majority of participants in the march, pledging support for any meaningful assault on corruption.

 Jitendra Raghvanshi, national general secretary of Indian People's Theatre Association, Naresh Paras of Amnesty International, Desh Deepak Tiwari, Chob Singh, Dinesh Yadav, Rachna Sharma, Raj Kumar, Lokendra, represented various organizations in the city.

 The march was a part of the nation-wide campaign against corruption on the Martyr's Day (Mahatma Gandhi"s death anniversary).

The youthful and vocal participants said the "first step in the journey of a 1000 kilometers had been taken. The youth had a great stake in the future and therefore should form the vanguard of the movement against corruption," Desh Deepak Tiwari, a student leader said.

Interestingly what began as a trickle at the start of the march soon became a stream with groups of people joining the march. "This is indicative of the spontaneous response against a suffocating system nurtured by deep rooted corruption," Jitendra Raghvanshi said.
