ITANAGAR, Feb 25:

With the festive mood of Nyokum gripping the citizens here in the state Capital, the members of Royal Arunachal Riders (RAR) too dipped into the festive fervour and took out a rally under the theme ‘Ride for Nyokum,’ today.

Initiated at the request of Secretary Tourism, Dr. Joram Beda,  to spread the news of the 50th Anniversary (Golden Jubilee Celebration) of Nyokum Yullo at Joram, the 23 Royal Enfield riding members of RAR took off from Akashdeep Market Complex in Itanagar and traversed through Naharlagun, Nirjuli and Yupia before returning to Itanagar to complete the promotion.

This year marked the 50th year of the Nyokum Yullo celebrations in Joram- a picturesque village under Lower Subansiri District. Accordingly, the organisers have been attempting to showcase the variant cultures and traditions of the Nyishis during the Nyokum Yullo this year by elaborating the celebration to 16 days with full on traditional fervour and gaiety. And today’s promotional ride by RAR members was part of the celebration which would see its finale on Sunday at Joram.
