Dr Aditya Yelikar emphasized that early detection and regular medical check-ups help prevent serious illnesses. He urged participants to maintain fitness through exercise, balanced diet, and adequate rest. Police commissioner Pravin Pawar, deputy police commissioner Sharmishtha Gharage-Walawalkar, and other officials attended the camp, highlighting the need for regular health drives to keep the police force physically and mentally fit.
