Jammu and Kashmir: DG BSF flags off special cycle expedition

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 20 Nov 2020, 05:51 pm

Srinagar: Rakesh Asthana, Director General of Border Security Force (BSF), recently flagged off a special cycle expedition from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.

The expedition was launched to support and empower the specially-abled personnel.  

The special cycle expedition "Infinity Ride 2020" is witnessing the participation of 30 Divyangjans (specially-abled) participants (both BSF jawans and civilians), reports ANI.

The expedition was launched from Nishat Mughal garden.

"Event like this strengthens our courage and inspires Divyangs and people. Sports like these develop sportsmanship spirit. BSF is not only the first line of defence. The area we operate, we help people in their problems," Asthana told ANI.

Harshit Munra, one of the participants from Pune, told the Indian news agency: "This is totally new experience. We will definitely complete the 40-day expedition. We will enjoy it. We also have the support of BSF. It will inspire Divyangs for the ride and to take up para-sports."
