This rally that reached Vizag on 14 October, 2021, visited the city that has been a focal point for the freedom fighters during the freedom struggle. The car rally was subsequently flagged off from here by the Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) Chairman, K Rammohana Rao IAS, from the TU 142 Aircraft museum area, on the Beach Road in Vizag.
This “Sudarshan Bharat Parikrama – NSG Black Cat Car Rally” was initially flagged off from Lal Quila, New Delhi, by the Honourable Home Minister of India, Amit Shah on 2 October, 2021.
