Hoisting The Tiranga Underwater

September 23, 2024 11:48 IST

The Territorial Army hoisted the national flag underwater at the southern most tip of the country on Sunday, September 22, 2024.

The Territorial Army flagged off a Cycle Expedition on July 30, 2024 from the Siachen Glacier to Indira Point in the Nicobar islands, traversing a distance of over 5,500 km.

It took 54 days for the journey through land, air and sea -- cycling, sailing and scuba diving -- to mark 75 years of the Territorial Army.
