The sixth Indo-Bhutan friendship car rally 2018, themed ‘connecting People’, commemorating the golden jubilee diplomatic relations between India and Bhutan, came to an end on Monday in Thimphu.

Yogesh Mullick with navigator Suvrajit Dutta, who came third, got a cash prize of Nu 40,000, said a Kuensel report.

There were three teams in the stock category.

Thirty teams participated in the rally competition of about 500 kilometres. However, two teams dropped out at the border due to mechanical failure.

The rally covered four Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Sikkim, and West Bengal, and two districts of Bhutan, Chukha and Thimphu.

The rally which flagged off from Kolkata on March 4 with 22 teams converged at Siliguri, India on March 9 and finished in Thimphu on March 10.

Speaker Jigme Zangpo, during the prize distribution ceremony yesterday, said that the golden jubilee celebration is an occasion for Bhutan and India not only to showcase, reflect and assess the extraordinary achievements of the past 50 years, but also to look forward for a future of deepening relationship, cooperation and partnership.

India’s ambassador to Bhutan, Jaideep Sarkar, said that although the two countries have more differences than similarities, the two are joined in spirit by heart and mind, and physically by the rivers, roads, and pathways.   “It was through this rally that we wanted to show how important it is for these arteries of communication between us to reverberate with traffic, with people, goods and ideas.”
