00:00 On October 2, the Jammu and Kashmir Police orchestrated the Run for Peace Marathon in
00:16 Srinagar.
00:17 A spirited gathering of youth actively participated in the marathon during the early hours of
00:23 the day, aligning it with the 154th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, often referred
00:30 to as the "Father of the Nation".
00:34 The marathon was held as part of Jammu and Kashmir Police's Civic Action Program at
00:39 the Lake View Point Golf Course at the Boulevard Road in Srinagar.
00:44 The marathon route stretched from Lake View Park Golf Course to Duck Park via the picturesque
00:50 Nishat 4 Shore Road.
00:53 The event was flagged off by Additional Director General of Police, S.J.M.
00:57 Gilani and saw the participation of approximately 3,000 athletes from across Jammu and Kashmir.
01:05 A large number of students, locals and even wheelchair-bound people participated in the
01:11 race that featured 13 different categories.
01:30 The patron of the event was the Director General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir, Dilbagh Singh,
01:34 while the Additional Director General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir, S.J.M.
01:37 Gilani, served as the Chairman of the Organising Committee.
01:41 Speaking at the prize distribution ceremony, the special DGCID Jammu and Kashmir, Shri
01:47 R.R.
01:48 Swain thanked former DGSP, Shri A.K.
01:50 Suri, Shri Gopal Sharma, Shri Kuldeep Ghora, their spouses and other dignitaries for gracing
01:56 the event.
01:57 He appreciated the overwhelming participation of athletes from all across the country in
02:02 the event, which he said has been organised on the birthday of the father of the nation,
02:08 Mahatma Gandhi, an auspicious day in the history of the country.
02:11 Gandhi Jayanti jo hai uske saath is event ko jab coincide kiya gaya, to usko kuch soch
02:17 samajh ke kiya gaya.
02:20 Gandhi was for non-violence.
02:22 But that state of non-violence can be achieved only by protecting the non-violent people
02:30 from the violent.
02:32 So we would like to make a distinction between those who are wedded to violence because of
02:39 ulterior motives.
02:40 Unke khilaf humari lagayi hai.
02:41 Aur ladayi abham ke liye hai aur abham ke saath hai.
02:42 Yehi megaad hai.

02:55 Gilani and his team for organising the mega event successfully.

03:04 success of police is possible only with the support and cooperation of people.
03:09 Adding that police is from the people, for the people and can deliver only with the support
03:14 of the people.
03:16 He said that it has been the rich history of Jammu and Kashmir police to work against
03:20 people involved in unlawful activities for the larger interest of the public.
03:25 He said that Jammu and Kashmir police is committed to continue work for the safety, security
03:31 and welfare of the people who abide by the rule of law to the best possible extent.
