NEW DELHI: A bicycle rally will cover the distance of 1700 kms from New Delhi to Kolkata, spreading the message of non-violence and aiming at an India that is 'free from lynchings and violence'. 

The organisers say that the message is that no human being should be lynched and Indians must take pledge to take society towards non-violence. Those who can't join from New Delhi, can even come at a later destination. 

It will pass through Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal. The towns that will be touched include Faridabad, Tappal, ALigarh, Jalesar, Shikohabad, Etawah, Auraiya, Akbarpur, Kanpur, Varanasi, Sasaram, Aurangabad, Champaran, Dhanbad, Asansol and Singur, amongst others.

The Khudai Khidmatgar volunteers are taking out this rally that will start from Raj Ghat on October 19. It will cover a long distance and finally culminate at Gandhi Bhawan in Kolkata on November 14. "We are against mob violence, no person belonging to any religion, caste, creed or sex, should be a victim of such violence", says the Khudai Khidmatgar statement.
