Coast Guard Week 2025: 20 cyclists promote maritime safety along India's western coastline, concluding at Vizhinjam on February 23.
As part of the Coast Guard Week celebrations 2025, a team of 20 cyclists who embarked on a cycle rally along India’s western coastline to promote maritime safety, security, and national pride will conclude their journey at Vizhinjam on February 23.
The cycle rally themed ‘Surakshit Tat’, began from Daman on February 2 and has covered Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka. Over the past two weeks, team members have engaged with local communities at key coastal locations, including Dahanu, Rajpuri, Dighi, Bharadkhol, Jaigad, Goa, and New Mangalore.
In Kerala, they will pass through Beypore, Thalikulam, Kochi, and Panmana, says a release.

The Opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday asked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) whether it would fulfil the poll promise of providing free LPG cylinders to women on Holi. Hitting back, the ruling party asked AAP why had it not kept its word on disbursing ₹1,000 to women for which it had allocated ₹2,000 crore in the 2024-25 budget. Meanwhile, Delhi government sources said officials are preparing a blueprint of the proposal and that the criteria for the beneficiaries is yet to be decided. The BJP had promised to provide LPG cylinders for ₹500 to women from poor families and one free cylinder each on Holi and Deepavali ahead of the February 5 Assembly election.
