Vijaynagar, Arunachal Pradesh: The Indian Armed Forces launched their longest-ever motorcycle rally, covering an impressive distance of 3,900 kilometers. The rally, named Shaurya Yatra, was flagged off by retired Assam Rifles personnel Padam Singh Rawat in Vijaynagar, located in Arunachal Pradesh’s Changlang district.
The rally will conclude at the Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, carrying the message of unity, courage, and national pride under the theme of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’. This theme reflects India’s strength through its unity and integration.
The Shaurya Yatra features an exceptional team of riders, including personnel from the Assam Rifles and the Indian Army, alongside four civilian riders from Arunachal Pradesh. Together, they embody solidarity, resilience, and national integration. The journey spans some of India’s most challenging terrains, symbolizing the indomitable spirit of the armed forces and the unity of the people of India.
