An Indian student found an innovative solution to hours-long traffic jams as he paraglided to his examination centre to avoid being late in Maharashtra’s Satara district.
A video of Samarth Mahangade, a student from Pasarani village in Maharashtra, flying through the sky with his college bag is making the rounds on social media.
With only 15-20 minutes left for the exam to begin, Mahangade decided to paraglide to the venue instead of getting stuck in traffic for hours, the NDTV reported.
According to the report, Samarth was in Panchgani to run errands on the day of his exam. Realising he only had 15-20 minutes left to get to the centre, he decided to take the paragliding route to avoid the heavy traffic on the Wai-Panchgani road, especially in the Pasarani Ghat section.
Govind Yewale, an adventure sports expert from GP Adventures in Panchgani, came up with the solution. With his team, he arranged everything for Mahangade to fly over the traffic, allowing him to reach the exam venue on time.
The student safely landed near his college and succeeded in appearing in the examination.
