Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel congratulated Chhattisgarh on setting the record for 'Setu Bandhasana', a yoga pose that connects the mind and body. He said, "As long as Chhattisgarh performs yoga, it will remain healthy and free from various diseases."

The Chhattisgarh Yoga Commission had organised the programme to raise awareness about yoga's importance and encourage healthy lifestyles.
