Tiruchirapalli, Aug 10 (UNI) Blood-filled world, with gun strikes and people with panic-stricken faces on seeing whole chunk of bombs that come whizzing and the disquieting scene of terrorism, comes alive on the canvas of a student here.

A painting competition was held here to mark the Hiroshima-Nagasaki memorial day yesterday.

Distributing prizes to the winners of painting and essay competitions, District Collector T Soundiah said technology in the country had taken shape only because of strong foundation in science.
