So happy to see 55 female participants! Women's fitness is often overlooked. More power to the sisters from Manipur. Hope this inspires similar events across all states.

Good initiative, but I have a small critique. The article mentions many police and IPS officers as guests. While their presence is welcome, maybe next time they could also invite more doctors or nutrition experts to speak? The focus should remain purely on health science.

Events like these are crucial to fight lifestyle diseases like diabetes and hypertension which are rising in India. Need more local community-driven fitness challenges, not just in big cities. Well done, Imphal!
