Travelers rejoice! The inauguration of the high-speed ferry ‘Parali’ has significantly reduced sea travel time between Lakshadweep and Mangaluru by an impressive five hours. Now, a journey that once took 13 hours can be completed in just seven, a testament to the transformative power of this new vessel. The maiden voyage, carrying 160 passengers, was met with enthusiastic approval, setting the stage for the upcoming launch of the Mangalore-Lakshadweep tourist liner service.
Ride-hailing service Rapido has launched its “SawaariZimmedariKi” campaign, offering complimentary bike taxi, auto, and cab rides to differently-abled and senior citizen voters across Karnataka. Residents of Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Mangaluru can access free transportation to and from polling stations on April 26th by using the code ‘VOTENOW’. This initiative is part of Rapido’s efforts to promote civic engagement and ensure equitable access to voting for all citizens.
