Mumbai-headquartered Central Railway’s General Manager Naresh Lalwani on Friday formally flagged off a mountaineering expedition to Mount Everest.
He presented an ice axe with the flag of the Railway Sports Promotion Board (RSPB), and the crest of Central Railway Sports Association (CRSA) to Hemant Jadhav, Chief Office Superintendent, working in the Engineering Branch, and Sandeep Mokashi, Office Superintendent, Electrical Branch, the two railway men who are attempting the feat.
The ice axe will be carried by the duo when they summit Mt Everest.
Jadhav and Mokashi are the first Indian railwaymen to achieve the feat of scaling Mount Nun peak situated at 7,135 meters above sea level on August 21, 2022.
