Girls in Aviation Day was celebrated under the aegis of the Thiruvananthapuram international airport and the Women in Aviation organisation here on Saturday.
Senior women officers of various departments of the airport interacted with students from St. Xavier’s College, Thumba, about the employment opportunities and possibilities in the aviation sector such as air traffic control, airport engineering, security, terminal management and environmental protection. As many as 25 students led by the Women’s Studies Centre of the college participated.
The voter turnout in the first of the two-phase Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka on Friday, which sealed the fate of 247 candidates, stood at 69.23%, marginally higher than the 68.96% recorded in 2019. Continuing the trend of urban apathy, the three constituencies in the State capital — Bengaluru North, Bengaluru Central, and Bengaluru South — recorded a turnout of 54.42%, 52.81%, and 53.15%, respectively. Mandya recorded the highest turnout at 81.48%.
