Nearly 30,000 yoga enthusiasts on Tuesday joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi to celebrate the second International Day of Yoga at Capitol Complex in Chandigarh amid tight security.

Modi led the celebrations at Capitol Complex, designed by French architect Le Corbusier.

The emphasis this year is on participation of Divyangs, the nomenclature coined by Modi for differently-abled, youths and people from economically weaker sections.

The event is also being attended by defence forces, ITBP personnel, Panjab University students, yoga foundations, school children and a select few from yoga orientation training camps.
