07:35 Instead of dividing, Yoga unites, says PM Modi:
PM Modi is leading an estimated 50, 000 volunteers to mark the fourth anniversary of International Yoga Day.
The event in Dehradun is being held at the Forest Research Institute, which has been spruced up and security across Dehradun tightened.
In a message ahead of the Yoga Day celebrations, PM Modi wrote on Twitter, “Yoga is beautiful because it is ancient yet modern, it is constant yet evolving.
It has the best of our past and presents and a ray of hope for our future.
In Yoga, we have the perfect solution to the problems we face, either as individuals or in our society.
Praising the ancient art, the PM further wrote, “The way to lead a calm, creative & content life is Yoga. It can show the way in defeating tensions and mindless anxiety. Instead of dividing, Yoga unites. Instead of further animosity, Yoga assimilates. Instead of increasing suffering, Yoga heals.”
00:20 Kejriwal faces health issues; may join naturopathy course: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is likely to fly to Bengaluru today to join a 10-day naturopathy course, officials said.
According to officials at the CM office, Kejriwal has not been keeping well after ending the nine-day-long sit-in at Lt Governor’s office.
During the protest, his blood sugar levels had increased and even insulin injections were not working on him.
“He is likely to leave for Bengaluru tomorrow to join a 10-day naturopathy course to control his sugar levels,” the officials said on Wednesday.
The chief minister had attended the naturopathy treatment in Bengaluru in the past for chronic cough problem.
He was due to attend the course there last month itself, the officials said. Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the sugar levels were ‘troubling’ Kejriwal and he had a prior programme to join the naturopathy course.
However, Kejriwal’s visit to Bengaluru will delay his meeting with IAS officers. — PTI
