Hyderabad, June 18: Freemasons of Telangana organized a Walk for Values on Sunday morning on Tank Bund. It was a novel and unique walk. It was rare to organize a walk on such an important, very useful subject.
Mr. A.K. Sharma, the Grand Master, the Head of 293 years old Freemasonry in India flagged off the kilometer walk to highlight the importance of values in our society.

Freemasonry is a Moral-building organization, A.K. Sharma added.
Freemasons were holding placards of values such as Brotherly Love, Relief, Truth, Faith, Hope, Charity, Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence, Justice, Virtue, Honour, Mercy, Wisdom, Strength, Beauty, Secrecy, Fidelity, Obedience, Courtesy, Benevolence, Gratitude, Duty, Kindness, Affability taught in Freemasonry and marched on the tank bund for about a kilometer.
Low moral values are creating unrest and turmoil in our society. Honest are struggling and facing hardships. When moral values are fading and there is a fast decline in moral values in these times, a walk on values is just a reminder that it is a time we keep our moral values high and spread happiness all around, the release added.
