He further said, “This year the International Yoga Day was scheduled to be held in Ladakh but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it had to be cancelled.” He informed that the Ministry of AAYUSH has decided to celebrate the day using digital platforms to discourage social gathering but with the same spirit and enthusiasm.
