Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Indore is all set to host Youth Walk 2026 on at the Nehru Stadium on February 8. The initiative aims to discourage consumption of drugs and bad habits.
The event will begin early in the morning at 5:00 am.
The police administration has inspected the stadium and the route to make sure the event is safe and well managed. Senior officers checked the stage setup, entry and exit gates, security plans, parking areas, and other basic facilities.
The Route
Around 25,000 youths have already registered for the event. Participants will receive T-shirts and caps at the venue. The walk will be around 3 kilometers long.
It will start from Nehru Stadium, pass through GPO, Chhawani, Madhu Milan, MY Hospital, and Shivaji Vatika, and then return to the stadium.
