Arunachal: ITBP launches high-altitude cycling expedition 'Veerta' from Bumla

Itanagar, Mar 18 (UNI) The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has launched its high-altitude frontier level cycling expedition, "Veerta," from Arunachal Pradesh’s Bumla, situated at an elevation of 15,080 feet.
The ambitious 10-day journey was flagged off by the Unit Commandant on Monday, and features a team of 10 dedicated personnel, including two officers, one subordinate officer, and seven other ranks.
"Veerta," meaning valour, encapsulates the spirit of this challenging endeavour, which will test the team's physical and mental endurance as they navigate treacherous mountain roads and breathtaking landscapes.
Throughout their expedition, the ITBP team will interact with local communities and school children, sharing the Force’s glorious history and its crucial role in safeguarding the nation. They will also provide hands-on demonstrations on mountaineering skills and infantry weapons, distribute sports equipment to promote physical activity, and provide career counseling to guide students toward promising futures, official sources said.
Additionally, the team will emphasize wildlife conservation, raising awareness about preserving the region’s rich biodiversity.
Beyond their community engagement, the expedition will emphasize environmental stewardship. ITBP personnel will actively participate in cleanliness drives at various tourist spots, promoting responsible tourism. They will also contribute to environmental sustainability by carrying out plantation drives along their route.
The expedition will culminate at the Sector Headquarter in Tezpur, Assam, where the team will deliver a powerful message promoting youth fitness and environmental consciousness.
This frontier-level expedition aims to inspire the youth of the region, reinforcing the ITBP's dedication to serving the nation and its people. By combining adventure with community service and ecological responsibility, "Veerta" underscores the ITBP's commitment to national security, social engagement, and environmental preservation, the sources added.
