Jaipur, March 15 -- The Sapta Shakti Command of the Indian Army successfully organised the 'Jaipur Soldierathon' on Sunday, starting from the Gandiv Stadium.

Major Surendra Poonia (Retd) highlighted that many veterans are participating in the event in wheelchairs after they lost their limbs in the line of duty. With around 5,000 participants, the event featured 21 km, 10 km, 5 km, and 3 km runs.

Speaking to ANI, Poonia said, "Indian Army jawans, who lost their limbs while fighting for the country, are also participating here. They are in wheelchairs, but their morale is not down. The goal of this run is just one - supporting jawans who lost their limbs while fighting for the country, but did not lose their fighting spirit."
