JAMMU, Feb 13: The Cycle Expedition “Sailab Se Salamati Tak” under Operation Sadbhavana comprising of 19 Kashmiri youth and nine Army personnel reached Delhi and interacted with General Dalbir Singh, Chief of the Army Staff at Army Headquarters, New Delhi.
To commemorate the joint efforts of Jawan and Awaam in saving the precious human lives in the Kashmir valley during the recent flash floods,  the Cycle Expedition from Srinagar to Delhi  via Jammu, Jalandhar and Ambala was planned as an expression of grit with which Kashmir fought the floods and how youth symbolized the march towards ‘well being’ and ‘restoration’.
The participants of the expedition created awareness on literature, customs and traditions of Kashmir en-route and at Delhi.
