Bengaluru, NT Bureau: Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot stressed the crucial role of yoga, exercise, and physiotherapy in healthcare.

Speaking at the Mangalore Physiocon 2023, an International Physiotherapy Conference, he highlighted the potential of these practices in addressing various physical ailments. Gehlot commended the conference for its theme, 'Connect to Unlock the Potential of Physiotherapy,' and its work in empowering individuals with disabilities, and fostering a healthier society.
