PRAYAGRAJ: Doctors and health experts have been laying stress on boosting immunity and doing breathing exercises to keep lungs strong since the Covid-19 virus affects the vital organ most. Residents of the Sangam City have also been doing all the needful and have adopted ‘shankhnaad’ (blowing of conch shell) as an exercise to strengthen lungs while attending yoga sessions.
So much so that shankhnaad seems to have become the latest fad among citizens of Sangam City to improve the power of their respiratory system.
Many citizens have formed groups across the city to practice blowing conch shells and explain the benefits of shankhnaad to others while referring to the popular belief that the sound of conch shells dispels all the negative energy in the surroundings.
