Air taxi will start soon in India, how much will the fare be? Know here

In a significant development for India's transportation sector, air taxi services are set to take flight in the country. With this groundbreaking initiative, commuters can anticipate faster and more convenient travel options. However, one burning question on everyone's mind is: How much will the fare be for these air taxis? What are Air Taxis? Air taxis, also known as urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles, are small aircraft designed to transport passengers over short distances within urban areas or between nearby cities. These vehicles offer a promising solution to traffic congestion and long commute times, providing a faster and more efficient mode of transportation. The Rise of Air Taxi Services in India India has witnessed a surge in interest and investment in air taxi services in recent years. Companies like Uber, Volocopter, and Lilium are among those exploring the potential of air taxis in the Indian market. The government has also shown support for this futuristic mode of transportation, paving the way for regulatory frameworks and infrastructure development. H3: Advantages of Air Taxis Efficiency: Air taxis offer swift point-to-point transportation, bypassing congested roads and reducing travel time significantly. Environmental Benefits: Electric-powered air taxis contribute to lower carbon emissions compared to traditional vehicles, promoting sustainability. Urban Mobility Solutions: Air taxis address last-mile connectivity challenges in urban areas, enhancing overall transportation networks. Factors Affecting Air Taxi Fares Several factors influence the fare structure of air taxi services: H3: Distance Travelled Fares are typically calculated based on the distance traveled. Shorter distances will naturally incur lower costs, while longer routes may be priced higher. H3: Time of Travel Peak hours or times of high demand may lead to surge pricing, similar to ride-hailing services like Uber or Lyft. H3: Type of Aircraft Different types of air taxis may offer varying levels of comfort, speed, and amenities, which can impact pricing. H3: Additional Fees Passengers may encounter additional fees for luggage, premium seating, or in-flight services, similar to commercial airlines. Fare Estimates for Air Taxi Services in India While exact fare estimates for air taxi services in India are not yet available, it's expected that prices will be competitive with existing transportation options. Factors such as operational costs, infrastructure expenses, and market demand will play a role in determining fare rates. H3: Comparisons with Other Modes of Transportation Uber/Lyft: Air taxi fares may be comparable to or slightly higher than ride-hailing services for similar distances. Commercial Airlines: Air taxi fares could be competitive with short-haul flights offered by commercial airlines, especially considering time saved on ground transportation. Conclusion The impending launch of air taxi services in India heralds a new era of urban transportation, promising speed, convenience, and sustainability. While exact fare details are yet to be unveiled, commuters can look forward to a modern and efficient mode of travel in the near future.

When challan was issued, a person was seen driving an Audi car wearing a helmet, the whole matter will surprise you

In a bizarre incident that has taken the internet by storm, a video capturing a person driving an Audi car while wearing a helmet has gone viral. The unusual sight has sparked widespread curiosity and speculation about the circumstances surrounding this peculiar occurrence. The Video Goes Viral The video, which was shared on various social media platforms, quickly garnered attention and became the subject of intense discussion among netizens. In the footage, a person can be seen behind the wheel of a luxurious Audi vehicle, diligently wearing a helmet as if it were a standard part of driving attire. Social Media Buzz The video's viral nature led to a flurry of reactions from bewildered viewers, with many expressing astonishment and amusement at the unconventional sight. Memes, jokes, and humorous commentary flooded social media feeds, as users tried to make sense of the peculiar situation. Speculation and Theories Abound As the video continued to circulate online, speculation and theories about the reasoning behind the helmet-wearing driver began to emerge. Some suggested that it could be a safety precaution taken by an overly cautious individual, while others entertained more outlandish hypotheses. Safety First or Fashion Statement? One of the prevailing theories posited that the individual may have been using the helmet as a safety measure in the event of an accident, regardless of the vehicle's make or model. However, skeptics countered this argument by questioning the practicality and effectiveness of wearing a helmet inside a closed car. Legal Implications and Traffic Regulations The incident also raised questions about the legality of wearing a helmet while driving a car, as traffic laws typically mandate the use of helmets for motorcyclists and cyclists. While the specific regulations may vary depending on the jurisdiction, the sight of a helmet-clad driver behind the wheel undoubtedly caught many off guard.

Manipur group says PMs free rice not reaching poor in 2 hill districts, blames black marketing

GUWAHATI: A peoples rights group in Manipur alleged rice given for free to the poor under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY) is not reaching the beneficiaries in two tribal districts due to black marketing. The Movement for Peoples Rights Forum, Manipur, alleged a nexus between some officials of the Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and a few transport contractors who has reportedly paralysed the monthly rice distribution system in Noney and Tamenglong districts. It sought Chief Minister N Biren Singhs immediate intervention to give relief to people affected by black marketing. The Centre had decided to continue with the scheme for five years from January 1, 2024, for the benefit of about 81.35 crore beneficiaries. This is a historic decision that places the PMGKAY amongst the worlds biggest social welfare schemes aimed at ensuring food and nutrition security. Likewise, several schemes have been initiated in Manipur with an aim to bring prosperity and development, along with the noble idea to bridge the gap between the hills and the valley, the forum said in a statement. However, it added, in contradiction to these objectives and commitments, some officials of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution in connivance with a few transport contractors are indulging in unlawful practices whereby large quantities of rice entitled to the beneficiaries are being sold in the black market, mainly in Tamenglong and Noney districts, thereby depriving the basic rights of the beneficiaries. Even among those who are aware of PMGKAY, there are reports of inequitable distribution and favouritism in the allocation of benefits. This has led to further frustration and disillusionment among those who are in dire need of assistance, the forum said. It said the absence of PMGKAY benefits was disproportionately affecting the vulnerable groups such as low-income families, senior citizens and persons with disabilities. It also said that the monthly rice was not distributed to the beneficiaries in July and November of last year and February, March, April and May of this year. The beneficiaries urged the CM to initiate strict actions against the culprits as per the law and ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the scheme within a stipulated period of one week before the matter escalates into a larger crisis.

Challenges Posed by Open Border with Myanmar: A Closer Look at Manipur

Imphal: T he porous border with Myanmar continues to pose significant challenges for India's Northeastern states, particularly Manipur. Recent outbreaks of violence in Manipur have been directly linked to the open border, facilitating illegal drug trafficking and arms smuggling, thereby heightening security concerns for Indian authorities. The unrestricted border access also allows numerous militant groups from the region to infiltrate Indian territory at will, exacerbating the security situation. During the Manipur violence, hundreds of militants reportedly crossed into Indian territory through the open border, causing extensive damage. Moreover, ongoing political and military turmoil in Myanmar has led to thousands of people entering Indian territory through the open border in the past three years. Around 50,000 Myanmar nationals have sought refuge in Mizoram and Manipur, raising serious demographic and security concerns. Manipur authorities have identified over 5,000 illegal intruders from Myanmar, with reports indicating the establishment of more than 996 illegal villages by these intruders. In response to these grave issues and in consideration of national security, the central government took the decision in February 2024 to fence the Myanmar border and revoke the Free Movement Regime (FMR) with Myanmar. However, this decision has faced resistance from certain organizations in Manipur, Mizoram, and Nagaland. On May 16, the Kuki Inpi Tengnoupal District (KIT) and the Kuki Students Organisation (KSO) Tengnoupal District in Manipur organized a massive rally denouncing the government's decision. Similarly, the Zo Reunification Organisation (Zoro) staged rallies in Mizoram, protesting against the dismantling of the FMR and the implementation of border fencing. The protests are rooted in concerns about the cultural and social ties among ethnic communities that would be disrupted by the policy changes. Zoro, in particular, advocates for the reunification of Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi tribes and opposes the border fencing and FMR abrogation. Church bodies in Nagaland, Mizoram, and hill areas of Manipur are reportedly behind these protests, with Zoro being influenced by Christian leaders and advocating against the border policy changes. Sources suggest that Zoro is working towards establishing a greater Christian administrative region encompassing Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi tribes of Manipur, Mizoram, and Myanmar. Opposition to the fencing and FMR abrogation has also been voiced by Mizoram and Nagaland assemblies, civil society organizations, and student bodies. Mizoram, in particular, is housing over 34,000 Chin refugees following the military coup in Myanmar, and there is reluctance to deport them due to shared ethnic ties. These protests underscore deep-seated concerns and opposition to the government's border policy. As tensions rise, authorities must address the grievances of affected communities and navigate the complex socio-political landscape of the region.

I am Handing Over My Son to You.., Sonia Gandhi's Emotional Appeal in Raebareli

Raebareili: In her debut public address during the ongoing Lok Sabha election campaign, Congress leader and AICC President Sonia Gandhi urged the residents of Raebareli to embrace her son Rahul Gandhi just as they embraced her, assuring them that he won't let them down. This marked Sonia Gandhi's return to public speaking in Raebareli, her former constituency, after a prolonged absence, as she reminisced about the enduring ties between the Gandhi family and the people of the region. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra accompanied her during the address. I am delighted to have the chance to connect with you after such a long time... You bestowed upon me the opportunity to represent you as an MP, which is the greatest treasure of my life. Our family's roots have been intertwined with the soil of this land for the past 100 years. This bond is as sacred as the river Ganga. It traces back to the farmer's movement in Awadh and Raebareli, Sonia Gandhi expressed in her public speech. Expressing gratitude to the residents of Raebareli, the AICC President shared that she imparted the same values and principles to her children, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, that she learned from the constituents and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Raebareli held a special place in Indira Ji's heart. I witnessed her dedication closely; she had immense affection for all of you. I instilled the same teachings in Rahul and Priyanka, the values bestowed upon me by Indira Ji and the people of Raebareli; Respect all, protect the weak, fight against injustice for people's rights, fearlessness, for the foundation of our struggle is robust, Sonia Gandhi affirmed. My protective shelter has always been filled with your love and affection. Your love has never let me feel isolated. Everything I have belongs to you... I am entrusting my son to you. Just as you accepted me, you must accept and embrace Rahul. He will not let you down, the Congress leader made an emotional plea to the residents. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is contesting from Raebareli, the former constituency of his mother. Sonia Gandhi represented the seat for four consecutive terms since 2004, before transitioning to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year. In Amethi, another stronghold of the Congress where the party faced defeat in 2019, incumbent MP and Union Minister Smriti Irani is competing against Congress candidate Kishori Lal Sharma, a steadfast supporter of the Gandhi family. The Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) has also nominated Nanhe Singh Chauhan for the seat. Voting for both constituencies is scheduled for May 20 during the fifth phase of elections. Uttar Pradesh's 80 Lok Sabha seats are being contested across all seven phases, with vote counting set for June 4.

Protests and Arrests: Nepal Student Union Demands Home Minister's Resignation

Kathmandu: Nepal Police apprehended approximately 12 students who staged a protest outside the country's parliament, calling for the resignation of Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane. On Friday afternoon, members of the Nepal Student Union (NSU) rallied, demanding the establishment of a parliamentary committee to investigate a cooperative fraud scandal allegedly involving Lamichhane. The student wing of the opposition Nepali Congress, NSU, vociferously chanted slogans such as Prosecute the cooperative fraud, Justice for cooperative victims, and Where is GB Rai? as law enforcement officers detained them. We have arrested a total of 11 protestors demonstrating in front of parliament, a restricted zone, stated Nawaraj Adhikari, Spokesperson at District Police Range, speaking to ANI over the phone. Meanwhile, the Nepali Congress persisted with their protest within parliament, pushing for the formation of a parliamentary investigation committee to delve into the cooperative fraud allegations against Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane. Tensions escalated on Thursday as a clash erupted between opposition and ruling alliance lawmakers in the lower house of Nepal parliament, spurred by the same issue. Home Minister Lamichhane stands accused of involvement in a cooperative fraud scheme that swindled millions of rupees from savers in collusion with others. While Lamichhane vehemently denies the allegations, evidence implicating him in the fraud has emerged during ongoing investigations. Prior to his political career in the last election, Lamichhane had collaborated with GB Rai, one of the prime suspects in the multi-million rupee fraud, who is currently evading authorities with the police intensifying their search for him. An investigative report by Pokhara Metropolis concerning the alleged cooperative fraud was recently concluded and submitted to the Police. Hundreds of complaints naming Lamichhane as a key figure in the scam have been filed. Accusations have surfaced against Lamichhane for abusing his authority to transfer senior police personnel involved in the investigation. Additionally, he faces allegations of coercion and undue influence on the Office of the Attorney General to absolve him of any wrongdoing regarding the cooperative fraud.
