36 Years of INS Magar Commemorated with an Inspiring Cycling Expedition
The Southern Naval Command of India recently celebrated 36 years of service of INS Magar, the lead ship of the amphibious warfare vessel category under the Indian Navy, with a unique cycling trip. The event involved a 150-kilometre cycling trip from Kochi to Alappuzha, which was participated by a total of 36 cyclists including four army personnel from 91 Infantry Brigade.
The cycling trip was aimed at promoting fitness and camaraderie among the naval personnel while also highlighting the importance of the navy's ships in safeguarding India's maritime interests. The event also served as an opportunity for the naval personnel to interact with the local community and promote the navy's image. During this event, the team also participated in community interactions which included a visit to Dr Ambedkar Memorial Orphanage and Rehabilitation Centre in the state capital.
The Southern Naval Command has a proud history of naval ships' service, and the cycling trip was a fitting tribute to the service and sacrifice of the naval personnel who have served onboard the navy's ships over the years.
