MUMBAI, Mar 20: The CISF Coastal Cyclothon 2025, a first-of-its-kind initiative covering 6,553 km of India's coastline, is set to reach Mumbai on March 20, 2025, which marks its half-way distance of about 3300 kms (both coasts-combined). This historic ride is raising awareness amongst the local population about the importance of coastal security and appealing to the fisherman communities to actively support the law enforcement agencies in keeping a vigil over potential threats like smuggling of drugs, weapons and explosives through the sea.

The events have witnessed enthusiastic participation from various fishing communities, including the Kharwa and Koli fisherman communities on the western coast, and the Kaibartas, Nolia, Jalaripeta, Thota Veedi, and Eguvapeta fisherman communities on the eastern coast. These interactions provided a platform for these communities to share their coastal life experiences and unique aspects of their livelihood.
The vital role they play as the nation's first line of defense along the coastal boundaries was emphasized, recognizing them as "Tat Praharis" or coastal sentinels. Various cultural events have also been organized, showcasing the unique culture and diversity of our coastal communities. Youth, mainly school children, have participated in large numbers, even cycling for short distances alongside the cyclists to demonstrate their support for the cause.
