Amandeep BR Medicity organised a Walkathon in Srinagar on the occasion of World Heart Day with the theme “Zindagi ko Chuno Dil Ki Suno.”
The event was dedicated to raising awareness about heart health and the need for preventive care through simple lifestyle changes such as walking, exercise, and mindful living.
The Walkathon commenced at 7:00 AM from Dal Gate, covering the stretch from Ghat No. 1 to Ghat No. 18 near Nun Kun Park. Participants walked together in high spirits, spreading the message of prioritising heart care and embracing healthier habits. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from people across different age groups, showcasing a collective commitment towards better heart health.
World Heart Day, observed every year on 29th September, is a global reminder to protect the heart and make choices that support long-term well-being. With the slogan “Zindagi ko Chuno Dil Ki Suno,” the Walkathon in Srinagar highlighted the importance of listening to one’s heart—whether by staying attentive to health signals or by making conscious decisions to lead an active lifestyle.
Dr. Avtar Singh, Chief Orthopaedic Surgeon & CEO, Amandeep Group of Hospitals, said, “Heart health is not just about medical care but also about adopting simple preventive measures in daily life. Walking regularly, staying active, and listening to your body are the first steps towards building a healthy society.
