Based on a request from the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA), a helicopter from Naval Air Station, INS Garuda, was deployed to drop relief materials at Koottickal in Kottayam and Kokkayaar in Idukki.
An official statement said the Indian Navy also ferried relief materials, including water bottles, from the Southern Naval Command resources to the nearest helipad at JJMM HS School at Yendayar. The helicopter undertook aerial sorties to assess the status of the floods and landslips for authorities to plan any land based search and rescue operations.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
