Bhubaneswar: Braving the early morning chill, thousands of people from the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack and other parts of the State participated in OTV Mini Marathon, organised on the occasion of World AIDS Day today.
The marathon is an initiative by OTV, the leading media house in Odisha, to raise awareness on HIV/AIDS which has emerged as a major challenge for the governments across the world.
As this year’s theme is 'Communities make the difference', many believe that it is the participation of citizens which can play a crucial role in combating the deadly HIV virus by launching extensive awareness campaigns.
