“We are grateful to the President of Uganda for his positive relationship with the Indian government, which allowed the establishment of the National Forensic Sciences University Uganda campus,” said Air Commodore Thaakar.
He made these comments while officiating the International Yoga Day celebrations at the National Forensic Sciences University (India) Uganda Campus, which is situated at Gaddafi Barracks in the Jinja district.

He also encouraged people to take part in yoga, highlighting its benefits for physical health, mental well-being, and spiritual growth.
