This is not the first time the Consulate has engaged in such activities. Previously, the Consulate had initiated similar cycle parades through Jaffna town to promote "awareness of Gandhian ideals of sustainability and environmental consciousness."
Indian Consul General Shri Sai Murali, Northern Province Chief Secretary Ledchumanan Ilaangovan, University of Jaffna Vice Chancellor S. Srisatkunarajah, Jaffna Teaching Hospital Director Dr. T. Sathyamoorthy, and the police officer in charge of Jaffna participated in the event.
