We must make it a regular habit to do yoga that has been practiced since ancient times: CM

“It is important to practice yoga to keep oneself healthy especially in Covid situation.

Yoga is an ancient practise of our country. In the ancient times, people used to keep themselves healthy and disease-free by practising yoga,” expressed Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on the occasion of International Yoga Day celebration held at NSRCC Indoor Stadium today.
