**Yoga Event in Visakhapatnam Marred by Neglect of Students**
**Visakhapatnam, India** – A large-scale yoga event, “Yoga Andhra,” organized by the Andhra Pradesh government in Visakhapatnam, intended to set a Guinness World Record, has been overshadowed by allegations of neglect towards participating students. Thousands of students from tribal areas of Alluri district were brought to the city to participate in the event, but faced severe inconveniences, including inadequate food and lodging.
Reports indicate that the 25,000 students who were transported to Andhra University Engineering College faced long queues for food and water in the heat. The evening meal was reportedly insufficient, leading to chaotic scenes as students scrambled for food. Accommodation was lacking, leaving many students to sleep in the open or on buses.
The event coincided with visits from Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, as well as top state and central government officials. The local administration was allegedly preoccupied with attending to these dignitaries, resulting in the neglect of the students’ basic needs.
The International Yoga Day event is scheduled for the following morning, with criticism mounting over the inadequate preparation and care provided to the student participants.
