The event, which will see participation from over 7,000 individuals, is being hailed as a momentous occasion for Jammu and Kashmir. “Yoga for Self and Society” is the theme of 10th International Day of Yoga.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha expressed excitement and pride regarding the Prime Minister’s visit. “I believe it is a matter of great fortune for Jammu and Kashmir that PM Modi will perform yoga near Dal Lake in Srinagar on International Yoga Day,” said Sinha. He emphasized the special bond that PM Modi shares with the region, attributing the Prime Minister’s decision to celebrate the event in Srinagar to this deep connection.
