Speaking while inaugurating the Walkathon, Ram Joshi said TB has to be completely eradicated by 2025 from the country. This needs a massive public awareness. The NMC has taken up the task with the help of Tata Trust and Rotary Club, he informed. Let us all resolve to eradicate the disease in the next few years completely, he appealed to the people.

Dr Jaiswal appealed to the people to get associated with TB-free India in large numbers. Dr Tumane informed NMC’s role in TB eradication campaign. The other guests also spoke on the occasion. All the participants of Walkathon took oath to make the country free from TB.

Joshi then flagged off the Walkathon, which started from Walkers’ Street, passed through Ladies Club, Law College Square, GPO square and concluded back at Walkers’ Street.
