A melange of fitness, fun and happiness

The vibrant pulse of community spirit echoed through on the first Sunday of Happy Streets as people gathered for a morning full of wholesome activities.

The streets came alive in the early morning hours with music, laughter, and the hustling of enthusiastic participants. While children played freely, families strolled side by side, and neighbours reunited over common interests.
There was something for everyone: from fitness fanatics participating in group workouts to people participating in games such as carrom, cricket, football, archery and shooting.
