Minister for Tribal Welfare P Balaraju participated in the World Peace Fest. Speaking on the occasion, he spoke about the importance of world peace at a time it was war torn.

Vizagites have held peace rallies several times in the past. In April 2007, a peace rally was held by the Seerath Committee of Milad-un-Nabi for peace from all walks of life transcending religious barriers. The World Peace Day was also observed in 2006 by Prajapita Brahmakumaris Eswariya Viswavidylaya stressing the importance of spirituality.
