Visakhapatnam: Over 11,000 personnel from the Eastern Naval Command (ENC), along with civil employees and their families, will mark the 11th International Day of Yoga (IDY-2025) with a grand event along Vizag's 20-km coastal corridor from the Naval Coastal Battery (NCB) to INS Kalinga in Bheemili on June 21.
The event stretches across a 25 km coastal corridor from Naval Coastal Battery (NCB) to INS Kalinga (Bheemili) in the city.
In solidarity with the citizens of Vizag and demonstrating commitment to holistic well-being, the naval personnel and their family members would be participating in the grand morning yoga session with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The naval participants would be occupying around 10 enclosures along the RK Beach stretch, forming an integral part of the historic gathering.

In a parallel celebration, nearly 600 Navy and Coast Guard personnel stationed at sea will perform yoga onboard six naval ships and two Indian Coast Guard vessels anchored near RK Beach.
The impressive maritime lineup would include frontline Eastern Fleet ships and two Coast Guard offshore patrol vessels, stationed off RK Beach.
