Tezu
The Dao Army Cycle Expedition Team returned to Tezu on 15 January 2019 after successfully completing the expedition. The team covered a gruelling 452 kms on rugged and mountainous terrain.
The ten member team received overwhelming response from the local population along the route from Tezu to Salangam, Hayuliang, Changwinti, Walong and Kibithu.
They interacted with locals living in the far flung areas of Lohit Valley to inculcate the spirit of adventure and also motivated them to join the Indian Army.
They also motivated girls to join the Forces and explained to them about various women entry schemes that are currently available.
Pamphlets on various schemes were also distributed. The team guided the youth about the educational, physical and other criteria required to join the Forces.
Enroute, the team visited the War Memorial located at Walong and paid homage to the martyrs.
