On the occasion of the International Day of Yoga, personnel of the Indian Armed Forces participated in yoga sessions across diverse locations, including mountainous regions, plains, and onboard naval vessels.

Speaking at the event, Singh described yoga as a 'holistic science' that benefits both physical and mental well-being. He emphasised its role in fostering discipline and unity among the forces. The sessions were organised as part of the government's efforts to promote yoga globally, following the initiative led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
