The dedication of the BSF personnel posted on the border towards the country gives us all the feeling of being safe every moment. He said that this ride has been organized to make this Independence Day memorable for them and ourselves
It has been a tradition of these cyclists to dedicate such rides to the defence line on every Independence Day. Last year, almost the same set of cyclists completed his ride at 10,000 feet on the Atal Tunnel near Rohtang, built by the Border Road Organization (BRO). In 2021, these same cyclists celebrated Independence Day by completing a ride of nearly 250 kms with the Indian Army at Hussainiwala border near Ferozepur.
