Kolkata, Oct 28 (IBNS) Sixty Naval Wing NCC cadets, including 20 girls from various colleges and schools, arrived in Kolkata on Wednesday, successfully sailing 430 Kms along the river route from Farakka in four Whaler Class Boats.

They negotiated heavy currents, tidal variances and shallow river patches during the expedition, held as a part of their annual adventure activity.

The cadets belonging to the West Bengal and Sikkim NCC Directorate were flagged-in at the ‘Man-of-War’ jetty by Major General Ashok Kumar, GOC, Bengal Area and Maj Gen Ashish Kumar Ghosh, Additional Director General, NCC Directorate of West Bengal & Sikkim.
