A Fitness Enthusiast Leading by Example
A fitness buff himself, Omar Abdullah actively encourages physical health. His taking part in a Srinagar marathon last year drew attention as he ran alongside India’s and international top sportsmen, showing his dedication to healthy living.
With key figures lending their support to the campaign, the anti-obesity movement is likely to gain countrywide strength, urging citizens to lead healthier lifestyles.
