The Divisional Commissioner of Jammu inaugurated a community run titled “Run for Unity” to commemorate Ekta Diwas, urging participants to celebrate harmony.
Jammu's Divisional Commissioner officially launched the “Run for Unity” event on Ekta Diwas, signalling the start of a community run aimed at fostering national integration. The ceremony, held at a prominent venue in Jammu, saw the Commissioner hoist the flag and address a gathering of local officials and volunteers.
Organisers described the run as a non‑competitive walk‑run open to people of all ages and backgrounds, encouraging participants to demonstrate solidarity across religious and cultural lines. Schools, NGOs and civic groups were invited to field teams, highlighting the inclusive spirit of the day.
Authorities emphasized that Ekta Diwas, observed annually to mark the spirit of unity, provides an apt backdrop for such initiatives. They urged citizens to use the event as a platform for dialogue and mutual respect, reinforcing Jammu's reputation as a mosaic of diverse communities.
The run is scheduled to cover a short circuit within the city, with safety measures and medical assistance in place. Organisers hope the event will set a precedent for similar community‑driven activities in other parts of the union territory.
