Recently, off-roader Aaron D'Souza, who manages a restaurant in Kodailbail here, completed dispatching food parcels. He then joined fellow off-roader Dishith Shetty, a timber trader, who, along with some other off-roaders visit Ullal, which was among the several places in the city hit by Cyclone Tauktae. They drove on the fisheries road in Ullal in the breezy condition to see whether there were anybody in distress and who needed assistance. The next morning, they joined fellow off-riders — advocate Roshan Raj, Shashank, Kushith Kumar and banker Pradeep. They rode in three off-roading vehicles to beaches in Chitrapura, Hosabettu, Idya and the Light House-NITK beach road that were also affected by the cyclone. They helped a few fishermen in pulling boats to safe places and also assisted a few households in shifting household material. They also distributed food packets to needy families in these and other areas in the city. Mr. D’Souza and Mr. Shetty are among the 21 members of “KA 19-20 United Offroaders” who have been involved in many rescue and relief operations in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. Around 50 off-road vehicles are involved in this task.
