Veterans to Retrace Gandhi's Dandi March
A group of veterans from the armed forces and NCC cadets are going to walk a long distance from the Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi.
This walk is to remember and honor the famous march that Gandhi did in 1930.
They will walk about 25-30 kilometers each day for the entire 387 kilometers.
The idea is to show that change can come from being strong and patient, not just from force or noise.
It's a way to start the new year by remembering an important part of history.
A group of armed forces veterans and NCC cadets will retrace Gandhi's Dandi March starting January 3.
The march will cover 387 km from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi.
Participants will walk 25-30 km each day.
The event aims to honor history and mark the new year.
