SRINAGAR, June 21: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday participated in the International Day of Yoga celebrations at the iconic Dal Lake in Srinagar and expressed happiness over the overwhelming public participation across Jammu and Kashmir, describing Yoga as a powerful force that unites the world and guides humanity towards a healthier and happier future.
Addressing participants on the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor said it was wonderful to witness the incredible enthusiasm among people from all walks of life for the International Day of Yoga.

Joining citizens, youth, officials, and fitness enthusiasts at Dal Lake, the Lieutenant Governor emphasized that true health is achieved through a balance of body, mind, and emotions.
