health, discipline and harmony, Ordnance Depot, Fort, Prayagraj, conducted a

central International Yoga Day celebration under the aegis of Purva UP and MP

Sub Area, Prayagraj New Cantt, at the historic and sacred grounds of ‘Akshay

wellness and balance at every stage of life. By hosting the celebration at a

site of profound cultural significance, the Ordnance Depot successfully

inspired all present to integrate these healthy habits into their daily

routines, viewing yoga as a lifelong commitment to longevity and sustained
