This community-based 5.2 km footpath walk will be conducted in the Kammanahalli area of Sarvajnanagar Division, aiming to assess local walkability on-site and identify locations that require improvement.

The footpath walk will commence on Saturday, January 10, at 7:30 AM from Joyalukkas on Kammanahalli Main Road.
