Bhubaneswar: A marathon to create awareness on cancer was flagged off from the premises of Cancer Centre Block of Apollo Hospitals, here.
CMD of NALCO Sridhar Patra and Central Region CEO of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited Sudhir M Diggikar flagged off the 10 km marathon in the presence of Director Medical Services cum Chief Operating Officer of Apollo Hospitals, Bhubaneswar, Dr. Alok Srivastava.
The participants went through major intersections of the city including Vani Vihar, Rupali Square, Ram Mandir square, Housing Board square and Acharya Vihar before culminating at the centre.
