Tribute paid to ISRO for the success of Chandrayaan-3
Kundapur: A round of cleaning the beach at Kodi in the taluk was held on Sunday, as the 23rd event of the 'Clean Beach & Green Kodi' project started by the Bearys Group of Institutions at Kodi during the World Green Building Week 2021.
The organizers also held an event on the occasion in honour of ISRO for the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3.
The beach cleaning event was inaugurated by Syed Beary, Chairman and Managing Trustee of Bearys Educational institutions, with Coastal Security Police (CSP) officials; Forest Department officials in Kundapur; Lions Club, Kundapur; Town Municipality of Kundapur and the locals participating in it. Addressing the gathering, Syed Beary said that participation in such noble events as cleaning the environment was superior to offering prayers to the Almighty in religious centres like temples, churches and mosques. He advised students to take inspiration from the success of the Chandrayaan-3 to reach great heights in the future and also asked teachers to provide adequate support to their students.
CSP Superintendent of Police Abdul Ahad reminisced the words of former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam on what a dream is. "A dream is not what we see in sleep, but that which does not let us sleep. Youngsters, especially students, should understand and always keep this in mind," he said.
The teachers and students of the Bearys Seaside Public School prepared a model of the Chandrayaan-3 launcher. They also formed a human chain showing 'ISRO' and sang patriotic songs, paying tribute to the national institution.

Train to Kashmir: 22-bogie train's trial run successful on Katra-Srinagar line
Jammu: A 22-bogie train chugged between Katra and Srinagar railway stations on Sunday, officials said, marking the first successful trial run on the newly completed line to connect Kashmir with the rest of the country via rail.
The train, comprising 18 AC coaches, two luggage carriers and two engines, left the Katra railway station at around 8 am, successfully reaching its destination within four hours under the watchful eyes of the railway authorities, the officials said.
This was the first trial run between Katra and Srinagar, and came within six days after the Commissioner of Railway Safety (Northern Circle) Dinesh Chand Deshwal authorised the opening of the newly constructed Broad Gauge line.
He had given the authorisation for the start of public carriage of goods and passenger traffic in a seven-page letter to the ministry and railway authorities, based on his detailed inspection of the track on January 7 and 8.
The CRS referred to his inspection of the newly constructed BG line between the Katra and Reasi section by a motor trolley and on foot, followed by a speed trial on the entire section from Katra to Banihal.
He had then authorised regular opening of the section for passengers and freight traffic at a maximum permissible speed of 85 Kmph on the main line and 15 Kmph on turnout.
The work on the dream project to link Kashmir by train was started in 1997 and it missed several deadlines given geological, topographical and meteorological challenges.
Out of the total 272 km Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, 209 km was commissioned in phases with the first phase of the 118 km Qazigund-Baramulla section commissioned in October 2009, followed by 18 km Banihal-Qazigund in June 2013, 25 km Udhampur-Katra in July 2014 and 48.1 km long Banihal-Sangaldan stretch in February, last year.
The work on the 46-km Sangaldan-Reasi section was also completed in June last year, leaving a total of 17 km stretch between Reasi and Katra. And this section was finally completed in December 2024 as announced by the Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
On January 4, a successful trial run of an electric train was successfully conducted on the Katra-Banihal section. The railways has conducted six trials over the past month on various segments of the track, including the two major milestones of the Anji Khad and Chenab bridges.
