The walkathon passed through Bucho Khurd, Kahan Singhwala, Lehra Mohabbat, Bucho Kalan and Tungwali villages and the urban health center, Bucho Mandi.

A group of 60 students accompanied by five MDS staff members and BDS lecturers visited these places and rendered health education to the masses. The students were carrying placards and they also distributed pamphlets among villagers. They also demonstrated correct brushing techniques.
