Pune, March 22, 2019: Pune witnessed Nitrrothon, a run for a cause organized by Nitrro Wellness & Fitness Hub on March 17, 2019. The cause for this run was Girl Child and their slogan for the day was “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.” A crowd of 400 including members and people who believe in the cause ran a route for 10kms, 5kms, and 3kms.
