Enhanced Mainland Connectivity: Lakshadweep Accessible in Five Hours Less
Enhanced Mainland Connectivity: Lakshadweep Accessible in Five Hours Less Travel by searoute from the mainland to Lakshadweep is now nearer by five hours. The highspeed vessel Parali on Thursday ferried 160 passengers from Lakshadweep Islands to the Mangaluru old port in just seven hours compared to the earlier 13 hours on an experimental basis. Speaking to PTI, the first batch of tourists on the HSC Parali' said that it was a different experience. The new vessel has not only high-speed connectivity but is also smoother by far than the earlier vessels which are modified to ferry passengers from cargo carriers. The Lakshadeweep Islands Tourism Development Authority formed under the Central Tourism Ministry will start the Mangalore-Lakshadweep tourist liner service after few trial runs starting from today. But we do not know how rough will be the sea once the monsoon starts. The LITDA has already ramped up the facilities at the receiving point in Kadmatt, which is the nearest port of arrival from the mainland, the officials said. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Lakshadweep Island earlier this year, the island administration (union territory) moved in many ways to improve the connectivity between the mainland at Kochi and at Mangaluru. According to the officials, this is the first step and things will be easier for people of Lakshadweep to arrive in Mangaluru for several types of tourism including the western ghats eco tourism, educational, health and recreation tourism in the mainland. Karnataka, part of the mainland, and Lakshadweep share a common history since 1783 as it was Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan who protected the entry of mainland marauders into Lakshadweep Islands and prevented them from pillaging the island paradise. But after 1799, when Tippu Sultan died in Srirangapatnam near Mysore, the people of Lakshadweep lost their freedom again as the British conquered the islands. The beautiful cluster of small islands, Lakshadweep is one of the worlds most spectacular tropical island systems. Thirty two sq km of land spread over 36 islands surrounded by 4,200 sq km of lagoon is rich in marine wealth. The heritage of ecology and culture is supported by an extremely fragile ecosystem. Committed to the cause of eco tourism, Union Territory of Lakshadweep has consciously followed a middle path between tourism promotion and environmental conservation. The administration is carefully monitoring the environmental impact of coastal tourism and has taken steps to promote tourism in a way that is consistent with ecological concerns. The first passenger Vessel M.V.Aminidevi had set sail for Kadmatt island in Lakshadweep Islands on 6 November with 150 tourists in 2010. ''This had opened a new horizons in tourism for Karnataka. Earlier this circuit was very circuitous for the people in the interior parts of Karnataka, but the new initiative will help high value tourists from Bangalore, Mysore, Panaji, Mumbai to use Mangalore as a port of departure to Lakshadweep. ''We are now getting inquiries from Karnataka especially Bengaluru,'' according to Lakshadweep Island Tourism Development Authority co-ordinators in Karnataka. The authorities had already prepared the ultra modern tourism facilities in three islands out of the nine which are closer to Mangalore in terms of navigation. The two islands of Minicoy and Kalpeni are closer to Kochi. At Kadmatt water sports like snorkeling, kayaking, diving, cruising and a combination of tourist activities including the local and world culinary attraction has been arranged. The authority are hoping that the tourists from Bengaluru will take advantage of this facility. Earlier they had to go to Kochi. The IT and Business tourists can travel to Lakshadweep at a cost of Rs 5,000 per head on this ship. The travel time is less than 14 hours and if they can squeeze in three days, we have devised a weekend package which is very rejuvenating, said an official from the Union Territory Authority of Lakshadweep Islands. Earlier, only a cargo ship Tipu Sultan was plying between the Islands and the mainland. This route is stated to be one of the oldest in the Indian maritime history. Accommodations in Minicoy, Kalpeni, Kadmatt, Aminidevi are limited and the ship will take tourists only when there is accommodation available on the islands. However, the rush has already begun as tourists from Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Baroda, and other places are booking their seats. They will treat Mangaluru as a port of departure, according to officials.

3,000 km with my Virtus 1.0L MT: How it continues to impress me
BHPian neoakshay recently shared this with other enthusiasts. I couldn't stretch for the 1.5 so settled for the 1.0 and it's been fantastic. I recently did Bangalore - Mangalore and on one good stretch the car effortlessly did 160 kmph without feeling strained or nervous. Very stable, planted and comfortable. I'm truly satisfied and now feel the 1.5 would have been dangerous in my hands This car has made me a very smooth and sedate driver and I only let loose on this recent trip just to feel the performance of the car. It really cocoons you with the quiet and comfortable interior and the frankly surprisingly good audio system (without subwoofer). I found that I'm usually driving with very little throttle and a harder input gives a good shove in the right gear. No comparison to the GT's aggressive acceleration, but adequately fun and safer for our unpredictable roads. The only thing I don't like is the slightly metallic rattly sound of this 1.0 engine at lower rpms and the engine honestly doesn't have a soulful sound at all, coming from a NA. I guess it doesn't matter when you're so comfortable and can play your favourite tunes on a long drive. I will hold on to this car for a long time, my previous car Santro lasted 19 years with me and was sold off to a new buyer who was very much happy to receive a car that was cared for in detail and still easily hits 120 kmph without a wobble. Wishing you many happy miles ahead with your GT! My wife finds it funny how excited I still get when I spot a GT and even she now knows how to tell the difference between the 1.0 and 1.5 I'm glad I chose this car and the fact that it's made in India solves the one problem of VW (or most German cars for that matter) - spares availability and cost. This one should be very easy to love and maintain for a decade or more. Read BHPian comments for more insights and information.

Kerala: On Workers Day, TTEs to lie down on platforms
PALAKKAD: On International Workers Day, the aggravated Travelling Ticket Examiners (TTEs), who are deprived of proper resting facilities at major railway stations by the authorities, will take out a unique protest programme - scores of TTEs will boycott the restrooms at Palakkad Junction, Shoranur Junction, Kannur and Mangalore Junction and lie down on the platforms to ease off instead. Speaking to TNIE , members of the Joint Action Council said, TTEs are not even provided neat restrooms, adequate beds and clean washrooms. In most of the restrooms, nearly double the number of TTEs are compelled to share the bed space at a time. There is no adequate and clean resting space even for women TTEs, who comprise 30 per cent of the total workforce now, a JASC member said. The JAC comprises the trade unions Railway Ticket Checking Staff Organisation, Employees Sangh, Mazdoor Union, Southern Railway Employees Union and Ticket Examiners Welfare Forum. The protest programme will start at the railway stations simultaneously at 10 am. The TTEs alleged that they are already under tremendous pressure to examine as many as five compartments during a single duty and collect the maximum fine amount from ticketless or law-flouting passengers. We feel completely exhausted after our duty. At the same time, we are deprived of the basic facilities as per the circular issued by the Railway Board over a decade ago, said a TTE, requesting not to be named. Meanwhile, while hearing a separate petition, the Kerala State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) filed a case against the Railways for not providing enough facilities for women TTEs to rest after work. The SHRC directed the Divisional Railway Managers (DRMs) of both Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad divisions to submit a report after examining the complaint in detail within 30 days. The SHRC acting chairperson and judicial member K Baijunath, while considering the complaint given by the DREU (Palakkad) divisional secretary V Sujith, said that the case will be considered at the commissions sitting in Palakkad in June. It is mentioned in the complaint that the Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad railway division authorities are not providing facilities to TTEs as prescribed by the Railway Board a decade ago.

Pros & cons of owning a Harley-Davidson X440: 500 km in 4 days
BHPian Thmh recently shared this with other enthusiasts. I would like to thank Team-BHP for creating a platform for moto-enthusiasts and most of my moto-gyan comes from this site. Hence, took the plunge to share my experience to help other riders like me! (The below narration will keep switching between me and my wife's point of view)A quick background:I got my first bike in 2010 which won the Motorcycle of the Year - Apache RTR 180. It was mostly used for my office commute for the first two years and then the usage reduced drastically after I got my car (Punto). The bike was ridden for about 10,000 km before I gave it to my uncle 10 years later. In 2019, my wife told me that she always wanted to own a Royal Enfield and I wasn't sure if I ever wanted to ride a bike again as I was comfortable travelling in a car. After watching YouTuber Noraly's videos (Itchy Boots) we wanted to test ride the Himalayan and a few days later it (BS4) was home. We did a lot of rides in Karnataka and a few places in Kerala. Meanwhile, my wife wanted to learn to ride. So on our way back from the gym, I used to sit behind as a pillion on RTR and my wife used to ride till back home. And Covid happened, in 2022 wife rented an Avenger for a month and we did small rides on two separate bikes. After this she wanted to buy her own bike, although I wasn't too convinced as at that moment I thought she wasn't going to be a serious rider and I would end up having two bikes to wash now! She took a test ride of CB300 and H'ness and booked her H'ness! While we were just trying to get used to having two bikes in our parking lot, back of my mind I had this urge to upgrade my Himalayan. Coincidentally one of my friends shared an ad of a used Suzuki V-Strom 650 up for sale. We went for the test ride and we now had three bikes in our parking lot which was hard for me not to be worried about. Luckily managed to find another biking enthusiast to whom I could hand over my Himalayan for a decent price which by then had done 15,000 km. We had a great time on the V-Strom. I managed to add 17,000 km in 1.5 years where I did a Bangalore-Spiti-Bangalore ride (wife as pillion) covering 6,150 km in 15 days! We used to frequent Goa as well. My wife was getting comfortable with her H'ness and she started doing the longer rides (250+ km/per day) with me. And a few months later she was on her own doing solo rides to Mangalore, Coorg and finally Goa! Her longest was a South India ride covering 1,500 km in 6 days. Riding V-Strom was super fun and it was super comfortable on long rides. However, was finding it overkill for rides when me and wife were riding on two separate bikes. Had to always slow myself down to match my wife's pace. And also developed an interest towards trekking which reduced my bike usage and didn't want to spend much on maintenance knowing my circumstances have changed. Hence, off it goes to another set of safe hands for a decent deal! Although the plan was to take a short break from riding, after a week of not having my V-Strom 650 any more, I was doing test rides!Test Ride experienceCriteria:A single-cylinder bike with enough grunt to cruise at 90-110 km/h and has to be comfortable for highway touring.Should be comfortable for my wife too as the plan was to swap the bikes as and when needed.RE Himalayan 450: I Felt at home sitting on this bike and the ride brought memories of my previous Himalayan 411. It also reminded me that nothing much has changed when it comes to vibration and I was spoilt by Suzuki's smoothness and the vibrations felt more prominent on the new Himalayan. Although I never had a puncture in my previous Himalayan, the fear was always there and I didn't want to have the same now. Hence, had to skip this. Triumph Scrambler 400 X: Skipped Speed 400 due to its size. Scram felt intimidating when I sat on it. Although I am 5'11, found the bike too tall and difficult to manoeuvre in traffic. Just couldn't connect well with this bike. Skipped the KTM 390 Adventure as it was nearing a replacement. Harley-Davidson X440: The bike's ergonomics were relaxed and the bike had a great pick-up just like my old Himalayan. The engine was smooth and the sound was sweet. Overall, the Hero Premia showroom experience was great. The wife was comfortable riding the bike as well. All in all, it felt like a nice companion to the H'ness. The bike was ready for delivery on the same day of the booking/full amount. I received it in just two days. The dealership is RT Krishna which is a Hero Premia showroom. The SA Gaurav was super helpful throughout the process. The bike has done 500 km so far (4 days after the delivery) and was ridden keeping the run-in in mind. The bike was ridden on highways, unpaved roads and city traffic conditions. PositivesAmazing torque and riding in the city is a breezeVery easy to manoeuvre and the weight doesn't pose a problemSmooth engine with very negligible vibrationEngine doesn't radiate much heat despite riding under harsh sunny conditions and even in city trafficCan cruise comfortably although I was keeping it under 4,000 rpmThe headlight is great with very good visibility at nightMID indicates 35 km/l which is nice but will check thoroughly after the first service when the bike can be ridden at 100 km/h speed constantly.Gear shifts are smooth and the clutch is light.Braking feels adequateNegativesFront suspension could have been better. It sends a jolt when you hit a pothole or speedbreaker at high speed. But we need to remember that this isn't an adventure bike to have a longer suspension!The seat's contour isn't very comfortable for longer rides and so are the mirrors as they cover less area. Both can be fixed with touring-specific accessoriesFuel gauge isn't very accurateNeutralThe Console could have been better and the app requires bug fixesLimited availability of accessoriesButtons could have been slightly better but I like the soft feel of the indicator reset buttonAccessories installedCrash Guard, Bash Plate from Harley (Rs. 1,400 I think)I skipped the centre stand to avoid ground clearance being reducedSaddle Stay from Royal Customs (Rs. 3,600)Top box rack with Backrest from Royal Customs (~ Rs. 4,000) - If you are installing the top box then the backrest becomes useless. Hence, save yourself some money and opt for a top box rack onlySidestand shoe from royal customs (Rs. 600)JB racing 45L top box (Rs. 10,500). I got this from Htrz mods and felt stupid when I found out the same was sold in other stores for Rs. 7,500. So try JB Racing Automotive for any accessories near JC Road.Pending accessories due to unavailability - full-size Windshield and angular handlebar risers.
