Discussions took place to finalize the venue for the grand event, and to chalk out concrete plans for the success of the same. However the venue for the event in Chandigarh is yet to be finalised. The Security arrangements were another important concern that came forth the officials after a stretched discussion on deciding a venue for the event.
Governments of Punjab and Haryana have assured to provide maximum assistance in making the program a grand success. It was also discussed that people from neighbouring areas of these states will also participate and do Yoga on 21st June 2016. AYUSH ministry has finalised a protocol of Yoga Asanas which will be performed on 21st June 2016. Proper training of participants will also be organised.
