Cycle expedition to boost public confidence in coastal areas
The Statesman Siliguri
|March 05, 2025
India's ministry of home affairs will launch a 6,553-kilometer cycle rally (cyclothon) comprising CISF jawans from Bakkhali in South 24-Parganas in West Bengal on 7 March in a bid to raise awareness to prevent infiltration, smuggling, coastal security breaches, and other illegal activities.
The cyclothon will be flagged off virtually by the Union home minister Amit Shah on 7 March from CISF Regional Training Centre at Thakkolam, Ranipet district, Tamil Nadu.
But this rally is more than just cycling and will cover Haldia, Digha and Bakkhali coastal areas.
It's a movement to spread awareness about coastal security and to fight smuggling and other illegal activities, said a senior CISF official.
"Coastal Cyclothon will cover 6,553 km. Around 125 CISF cyclists, including 14 women personnel will complete the cycle journey of 25 days, covering 11 states and Union Territories," said IG CISF, eastern region, Sikhar Sahai.
