Tengnoupal , June 7: In the run-up to the 12th International Day of Yoga, Assam Rifles organised a special yoga awareness and wellness programme at the serene border village of Kwatha in Tengnoupal district, bringing together local youth for a morning dedicated to health, mindfulness and holistic well-being.

The initiative turned the quiet village morning into an atmosphere of enthusiasm and positive energy as participants were introduced to the fundamentals and benefits of yoga. Trained personnel guided the youth through basic yoga postures, breathing techniques and relaxation exercises aimed at improving physical fitness, mental resilience and emotional balance.
