Hyderabad, June 21 (UNI) The 11th International Day of Yoga was celebrated in a grand manner at the GMC Balayogi Sports Stadium in Gachibowli on Saturday morning. The event was jointly organised by the Department of AYUSH and the Telangana Medical and Health Department. The programme commenced with a yoga photo exhibition from 0620 to 0630 hours, followed by a virtual address by Prime Minister Narendra Modi broadcast on LED screens from 0630 to 0700 hours.

In total, more than 5,000 individuals performed yoga during the event. Speaking on the occasion, Health Minister Damodar Rajanarsimha said that yoga is a profound gift India has offered to the world. He emphasised remembering Maharishi Patanjali, the revered guru who systematised the ancient practice, and highlighted the significance of Ashtanga Yoga, which he described as the foundation of modern yoga. "Yoga is not just a physical exercise—it is a holistic practice that unites the body, mind, and soul," the minister said. "In today's fast-paced world, lifestyle-related ailments like blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, and kidney issues are increasing. Yoga offers the best solution for these problems." He urged everyone to incorporate yoga into their daily lives, stating that all it requires is determination and a good teacher. "Regular yoga practice enhances mental clarity, physical strength, and concentration." Minister Rajanarsimha also outlined the government's efforts under Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's leadership to promote yoga across the state. These include the appointment of 630 yoga instructors, with another 264 appointments in progress, and the daily conduct of yoga sessions in health sub-centres. "In the past year alone, we have introduced yoga to 5 lakh new individuals. We are also encouraging yoga education in schools and colleges and are launching postgraduate courses in Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences. More initiatives will soon be rolled out to bring yoga closer to the people," he added. UNI VV ARN

High-level Japan-US meeting cancelled over defence spending demands: Reports
Tokyo, June 21 (UNI) Tokyo cancelled "two-plus-two" security talks with the United States after Washington asked Japan to boost defence spending to 3.5 percent of the GDP, the Financial Times newspaper reported citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth had planned to meet with their Japanese counterparts, Defence Minister Gen Nakatani and Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, on July 1 in Washington. The Financial Times said on Friday that Tokyo scrapped the meeting after a demand was made in recent weeks by US Defence Department's official Elbridge Colby for Japan to increase defence spending to 3.5 percent of its GDP, instead of the 3 percent asked for earlier. The newspaper specified, citing a senior Japanese official, that the decision to cancel the planned meeting was also related to the election to the upper house of Japan's parliament. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party is expected to lose seats in the upper house election, set for July 20. Earlier in June, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte called on NATO member states to increase their defence spending from the current 2 percent to 3.5 percent of their respective GDPs, and spend another 1.5 percent on infrastructure development, defence industry and other security-related investments. US President Donald Trump previously demanded that NATO allies spend 5 percent of GDP on defence. Japan is not a member of NATO, but is one of NATO's partners in the Indo-Pacific region. The Hague will host the NATO summit from June 24-25. Media reports have suggested that the allies will focus primarily on NATO defence spending during the summit. UNI SPUTNIK ARN
