Jammu: A cycling expedition by the Indian Air Force (IAF) from Kanyakumari to Kargil arrived in Jammu on Sunday, a defence spokesman said.
The historic expedition, being undertaken in three phases, is part of the IAF’s 94th anniversary celebrations and pays tribute to the gallant heroes of the 1999 Kargil War, he added.
The third and concluding phase, from the National War Memorial, New Delhi, to the Kargil War Memorial in Ladakh, is presently underway.
The expedition is on its sixth day, with the contingent having reached Jammu. The riders commenced their journey from Pathankot at 7 am for Jammu before proceeding towards Kargil.
Despite the en-route challenges, the team continues its determined advance, embodying the values of courage, sacrifice and service. The riders carry forward their enduring legacy of service, courage and sacrifice as they proceed towards the Kargil War Memorial, the spokesman said.
