The Hindu
CISF Coastal Cyclothon covers 1751 km from Bengal to Andhra Pradesh, promoting maritime safety and coastal security.
The CISF Coastal Cyclothon reached Kavali in SPSR Nellore district late on Saturday evening from Chirala in Bapatla district.
The delegation arrived to a rousing reception from local dignitaries and students.
Marking its 56th Raising Day, CISF launched the Cycle Rally with the theme ‘Surakshit Tat - Samriddh Bharat’ (Secured Coast - Prosperous India).
Rally, in two groups of 25 members each, started simultaneously from the East and West coasts of India. While one group started from Lakhpat, Gujarat in the West, the other started simultaneously from Bakkhali in Bengal in the East, meant to traverse along the 6,553 kilometer-long coastline of Indian mainland.
Both the cycling teams will meet at the southern tip of Kanyakumari (Tamil Nadu).
The rally is expected to be completed in 25 days by traversing 11 States/Union Territories to culminate at Swami Vivekananda Memorial on March 31.
Interestingly, this Cyclothon, which was flagged off virtually by Minister for Home Amit Shah on March 3, will be the first cycle rally to traverse the entire coast of mainland India.
