In a first in the country, Maharashtra Police organised an international marathon in Mumbai on February 9. Around 17,000 runners took part in the marathon, officials said. The marathon would act as a bridge between people and the police and increase communication between them, Maharashtra Director General of Police Subodh Kumar Jaiswal said.
