Akash Singh, a resident of Sector 50, said, “It was great to see so many people during the morning —usually only senior citizens are seen doing yoga, but today a large number of youngsters joined in. But it’s not just about a day — it should be turned into a lifestyle.” 

The scene was the same at Indirapuram, with societies organizing early-morning events to mark the day.
