Cycling to spread light

LUDHIANA: A group of 12 cyclists paid tributes to martyrs Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev in a unique way. They cycled around and lighted candles near the statues of all the three.



These cyclists started their trip from Sarabha Nagar market around 6.30 pm and moved on the Ferozepur road to the Jagraon bridge. We lighted candles near the statues of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, who are our ideals and inspiration, said 37-years-old Devinder Nagi, a school teacher, resident of Model Gram.



From there, we moved towards the Jail road and lighted candles at Namdhari Shaheedi Smarak near civil hospital. After that we moved towards the Nau Ghara mohalla to the house of martyr Sukhdev Thapar, said 27-years-old businessman, Gagandeep Singh from BRS Nagar.



These cyclists stopped for a while at the house of Sukhdev Thapar, lighted candles and started their journey back to Sarabha nagar. Cycling gives you a peace of mind. Just as you pedal, you know at least you are cutting down some pollution that cannot be reduced otherwise even by thousand speeches, said 38-years-old Parminder Singh, a businessman of Maharaj Nagar.



Soni Verma, 14, a resident of Model Gram said, I had watched the movie Legend of Bhagat Singh with my father and since then I feel in love with all the three. When I came to know that we are going to Sukhdevs house, I just couldnt resist.



This enthusiastic group of cyclists included people from all spheres of life, be it 19-years-old Jasman of Model Gram, 27-years-old businessman Digvijay Singh from South Model Gram, 12-years-old Anhad Panesar from SKS Nagar, 9-years-old Jaspratap Singh from Model Gram, 13-years-old Manav Mudgal from Deep Nagar, Ashnoor Sidhu, 16, from Bharat Nagar chowk, Himanshu Marjara, 30, from Vikas Nagar and 16-years-old Manny Panday from Krishna Nagar.
