Dhanraj, Nafisa urge people to run

NEW DELHI: Hockey star Dhanraj Pillay and eminent social worker Nafisa Ali goaded the citizens of the Capital to run for a cause in the Delhi Half Marathon in a symposium hosted at the Jindal office here.

“It is a unique opportunity to convey the critical need of adopting a better and healthier routine. This marathon adequately addresses the cause of sports and encourages everyone to make exercise part of their everyday life,” said Dhanraj.

“A sporting event like the marathon not only acts as a unique platform to come together for a greater cause, but also unites people from varied walks of life to celebrate life,” said Nafisa.

“The Delhi Half Marathon has become symbolic to the triumph of human spirit and zeal towards a cause,” said the Director of Jindal Stainless, N. C. Mathur.
