Dhandapani Loganathan, bicycled all the way from Coimbatore to Bengaluru and back for spreading awareness against child abuse.

A 27-year-old software engineer and a cycling enthusiast, Dhandapani Loganathan aims to create social awareness on “child abuse”.

He set out on a two-and-a-half day bicycle trip from Coimbatore - Bengaluru - Coimbatore route, which was around 700 km on Friday. He believes that his mission will help reduce child abuse. He has undertaken such expeditions to other places namely Udhagamandalam, Erode, Salem and Kerala on the motive to eradicate child harassment. For the latest mission, he started from Gandhipuram, Coimbatore to Madiwala, Bengaluru. He distributed pamphlets to the public. Despite the variation in climate, he took his mission as a challenge.
