- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

Highlighting a powerful blend of patriotism, fitness, and environmental awareness, more than 15000 cyclists from over 5000 locations joined in for a nationwide tribute to India's armed forces.

Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya led over 1,500 cyclists at the Major Dhyanchand National Stadium here, alongside Secretary (Sports) Sh. Hari Ranjan Rao, sports icons - Olympic medalist Yogeshwar Dutt, cricketer Saba Karim, wrestler Sarita Mor, Bollywood actress Sharvari and the Indian cycling team.

One of the major highlights of the Sunday morning remained a full-fledged participation of cyclists from several regions of Jammu and Kashmir, including Jammu, Poonch, Kishtwar, Kulgam, Bandipora, Shopian, Baramulla, Budgam, Samba and more.

These cycling drives were conducted by several Khelo India Centres (KICs), Khelo India State Centres of Excellence (KISCEs) and SAI Training Centres (STCs).

Paying tribute to the armed forces, especially in light of the recent successful Operation Sindoor, Dr. Mandaviya emphasized the deeper significance of this edition.

"This Tiranga Rally is a salute to our jawans and their sacrifice. Fitness and patriotism go hand in hand," the Hon'ble Minister said.
