| GYASA members from across the Delhi/NCR who part in the 15km marathon. |
Altogether, over 25 GYASA members from across the Delhi/NCR take part in the 15km marathon. The motive behind this marathon was to show respect to the Kargil martyrs who sacrificed their lives to the nation. Moreover, the gesture was also to stand by with the veteran soldiers’ long standing demand for ONE RANK ONE PENSION (OROP).
Special thanks to Roshni Didi (sister) for introducing us to this event. Roshni with her Run with Roshni team also took 8hr and 55.6km marathon in Mumbai supporting the cause and the event.
We are especially thankful to 16-members of GYASA, particularly from Gurgaon locality who dedicated their precious time for the marathon.
GYASA appraised our Arpan Bhai (brother) for his enthusiasm and motivation. He was our star runner at the event and has huge interests in running. We are also thankful to each GYASA members and each and every Gorkhas who joined in supporting the cause and programme. We also had a brief moment with Major DP Singh, India’s blade runner, where he was very happy to see the participation of the Gorkha community in the marathon. He was gracious enough to spend some time with us. Finally GYASA also interacted with several other retired army officers and expressed our support and solidarity for the cause. We also had the privilege to listen to Shri Anna Hazare supporting the cause.
Like ‘Run with Roshni’ says, “WE ARE GORKHAS AND PROUD TO BE INDIANS”. We are proud of our Gorkha soldiers and will stand by them in their legitimate demand for One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme. We as youth and students are proud of your contribution towards the nation. Gorkha soldiers- we are living peacefully in our home because you scavenge the frontiers.
Lets Gorkhalism
Jai Hind Jai Gorkha
