Fun,frolic and excitement was palpable as more than 200 enthusiasts participated in the first edition of the treasure hunt organised by the GGDSD College Alumni Association,Chandigarh (SDAAC),on Sunday. An impressive holiday crowd cheered as the event,which began with a lamp-lighting ceremony by the college principal Dr A C Vaid,was flagged off from the college premises.

The participants,families of alumni and public,were given clues to reach their first and subsequent destinations. The participants were required to touch all the destinations and return to college. The successful participant consuming the minimum time was declared the winner. The organisers had chosen a special day 10.10.10 to organize the event and they timed the start of the event at 10.10.10 am.

As the families and teams assembled for the flag off,they were given instructions to strictly follow the traffic rules besides ensuring that they signed at every check point set up by the organizers. After handing them over the clue sheet along with packed water bottles and salted snacks,the participants were timed at the point of departure and given a maximum of three hours to complete the treasure hunt.
