The walk started from Gymkhana and culminated at the Press Club Hyderabad. The event was organised to mark the World Malaria Day. The doctors, paramedics, nursing staff, lady health workers and elite citizens participated in the walk. They carried play cards inscribed with anti-Malaria slogans and Malaria awareness quotations.
