In this paper we report the minimum bias differential yields of primary charged particles ,

using PYTHIA8 and HIJING2 event generators. The predictions are compared with ALICE data at the LHC. The PYTHIA8 predictions describe the ALICE data at low
values and underestimate them at high
values. PYTHIA8 model is tuned to color reconnection (CR) for hadronization by minimizing the string length of partons, where it gives significant results within
region. The HIJING2 predictions show a good agreement with ALICE data. We have found that the integrated yield of strange and multistrange hadrons, relative to pions, kaons and protons, increases significantly with
