Led by actress Mandira Bedi, along with Mayor Sunil Datti and Chairman, Improvement Trust Jugal Kishore, students of 15 schools and colleges and doctors participated in the walk. The doctors took the initiative to help people understand the importance of keeping one's heart young.
The students in white caps held banners, speaking out slogans. "How young is your heart?"
