To boost voter awareness, MCD to organise ‘Run for Democracy’

New Delhi: In a bid to encourage higher voter turnout in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, the South Zone of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has announced a “Run for Democracy” event, scheduled three days before voting begins.

The five-kilometer run will begin at Nexus Select Citywalk in Saket, with participants treated to refreshments, including pizza, to create a festive atmosphere.

Special prizes will be awarded to the top three male and female performers.

their vote and its role in shaping the democratic process,” Kumar said. Open to participants of all ages, the event aims to foster a sense of community and enthusiasm for civic participation.
