Great initiative by Vizag administration! Yoga is our ancient treasure and seeing such large-scale participation warms my heart. Hope they arrange proper shade and drinking water facilities considering the June heat. Jai Hind! 🙏

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I hope they're not spending too much taxpayer money just to break records. The medical facilities mentioned are crucial - last year in Delhi many participants suffered heat strokes. Safety first!

As a Vizagite, I'm proud our city is hosting such a mega event! The beach yoga sessions will be amazing at sunrise. Collector saab has good vision - hope the traffic police manages the vehicle arrangements properly. Our city roads get chaotic easily.

Wonderful to see Yoga getting this recognition! But I hope they include modified versions for senior citizens and differently-abled participants. Yoga is for everyone, not just the fit and young. The medical team should be trained to handle all age groups.

The world record attempt is exciting, but the real success would be if this inspires people to practice yoga daily, not just on June 21st. Maybe they can distribute pamphlets with simple routines people can do at home? #YogaForLife
