Amritsar Riders is a community that brings together bikers, who enjoy group rides, touring, road safety awareness and social events. The club is not a government organisation; it operates as a riding community and often collaborates with local motorcycle dealerships and event organisers for rides and awareness campaigns.

The journey will start from Company Bagh, Amritsar at 5:30 am after gathering the participants. Dalvinderjit Singh appealed to motorcycle lovers, ex-servicemen, serving soldiers and patriotic citizens to join this commemorative journey with a sense of discipline and respect, and pay tribute to the martyrs of the country.

He said that such events play an important role in encouraging the spirit of patriotism among the youth, strengthening national unity and keeping alive the glorious legacy of the supreme sacrifice of the brave soldiers of the Sikh Regiment.

“Anyone participating, must consider traffic rules, maintain complete discipline and maintain mutual respect and sense of brotherhood during the journey,” he said.
