Delhi runs for unity despite air scare

The National Unity Day was celebrated across the country with people from all walks of life participating in the 'Run for Unity' to commemorate the 144th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel. Government agencies like System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research and MDMA asked people to limit their outdoor exposure and avoid strenuous workouts. Jayesh, who participated in the Run for Unity, said, "For us, it's more important to celebrate the spirit of unity rather than giving Delhi pollution a thought. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel merged a number of princely states and something as paltry as pollution can't break this thread of unity," said another participant Om Prakash.
