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 such as smuggling of drugs, weapons and explosives through the sea.

In Mumbai, the cyclothon is expected to be joined by cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, Bollywood icons Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Boman Irani and Suniel Shetty, who have already extended their

support.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
