They also interacted with local children, inquiring about their studies, and distributed chocolates and toys to them.

Earlier in the day, CM Yogi and JP Nadda attended a women's marathon race at Lucknow's Dubagga Square.
Speaking at the event, Yogi Adityanath stressed the importance of physical fitness, which, he said, will extend to a healthy mind and help in the building of a developed India.
"The more we are fit physically, the more mentally stable we will be. In ancient times, our sages gave importance to a healthy body, which would lead to a healthy mind. This will in turn help in creating a developed nation," the chief minister said in his address at the public event.
Highlighting India's achievements in the field of sports this year, CM Yogi said, "In the Olympics, India won its highest tally of medals in the event. In the Asian Games earlier this year, our athletes brought home more than 100 medals. In the Para Olympics Asian Games, we shone, winning more than 100 medals for the first time. This shows that we are making rapid progress towards shaping an aspirational and new India."
Speaking at the event, BJP national president JP Nadda said that it is a historic time for youths as India has entered into the 'Amrit Kal.'
"This is a historic time for the youth. This is because we have emerged into the Amrit Kal. In the last 75 years and even before, we have paid homage to those individuals who have contributed to making the country proud," Nadda said.
