Students take part in cycle rally to Yellur fort in Belagavi
A cycle rally, known as 'Tiranga on Wheels', took place from Belagavi to the historic Yellur fort in Maharashtra on Wednesday. This event, organized as part of Independence Day celebrations, aimed to instill a sense of patriotism, fitness, discipline, and responsible citizenship among young minds. The rally was flagged off by Brig Girish Upadhya, the Commandant of Maratha Light Infantry Regimental Centre.
Students from Rashtriya Military School, Army Public School, PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2, and Cantonment Board School all participated voluntarily, alongside teachers. These young riders were accompanied by officers, JCOs, and ORs of The MARATHA LIRC, who cheered them on throughout the 20-kilometer journey. The rally not only offered an opportunity to celebrate the spirit of freedom but also enabled participants to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of historic Yellur Fort.
The collective effort of the armed forces, educational institutions, and the community made this event a memorable one, marking 80 years of India's Independence.
