On Sunday, Sharad Pawar, the chief of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), flagged off the "Family Run 3.0" marathon in Pune. The event, organised by the Jayesh Murkute Social Foundation, was led by Jayesh Sanjay Murkute, the Kothrud working president of NCP.

At the event, Pune NCP president Prashant Jagtap praised Murkute for his consistent efforts in organising both political and social events in the Baner and Balewadi regions. He shared that Murkute, a young and active member of the party, has been instrumental in hosting numerous functions, including this marathon, which Pawar flagged off. "The atmosphere was fantastic as Pawar Sahib arrived at around 6:45 AM to attend the event," Jagtap told ANI.
