Some 400 contestants participated in the 5-kilometre marathon race titled, 'Run For Breaking Drugs’.

"The young generation will have to overcome the addiction of mobile apps.  They have to come out of their houses and play more," said the DNCC mayor.

"The roads of Uttara are wide but the pavements are getting occupied there as well as the roads...The younger generation should come forward to arrange more programmes like marathon," he said.
