Govt yet to issue orders to restart mobile clinics closed in the wake of pandemic
The Kerala Social Security Mission project Vayomithram, which benefited people above 65, has come to a standstill following a shortage of medicines and no government orders to restart the mobile clinics.
The project was implemented to provide health care and support to elderly people residing within the limits of corporations, municipalities, and a few block panchayats in the State. Free medicines, mobile clinics, palliative care, counselling, and help desk service were provided under the project.
The initiative had received huge support and more than 2 lakh registered people benefited from the project.

Mangaluru-Bengaluru National Highway 75, and Mani (Mangaluru) - Mysuru NH 275 have been in various stages of development for the past many years. These highways often are closed during heavy rains. The Mangaluru-Hassan rail connectivity too gets disturbed during heavy rains. In such a situation, air fares between Mangaluru and Bengaluru shoot up, going up to ₹10,000 per person.

According to the organisers of the event, Karman Week 2025 will highlight India’s leadership in public-private partnerships, climate-focused space applications, and international cooperation. The program will include direct engagements with the Indian space sector, alongside curated cultural activities and a nature-based leadership retreat.
