A 21-km human chain was today formed in the city to appeal to people to boycott Chinese products.

"China earns money by selling its products in India and extends financial aid to Pakistan. Pakistan uses the money for anti-India activities," said Mukesh Modi, convener of Hindu Utsav Samiti which had organised the event.

The human chain, which stretched from Palsikar chowk to Bombay Hospital, was formed to appeal the people not to buy the products made in China and to protest China's "proxy-war" against India, he said.

Over 30,000 people held hands to form the chain, he said.
