To this end, 200 kgs of dry waste were collected from the participants. The waste collected included X ray films, medicine bottles, books, paper, toys, fabric, footwear, broken accessories and suitcases.
In addition, the event also sought to to urge women to de-stress and turn the focus on their well-being. Women actively participated in fun games and Zumba sessions and listened to expert talks by top gynaecologists, dieticians and physiotherapists from Apollo Women’s Hospital.
