‘Fresh-Up Homes' to come up at remote tourist getaways in Kerala
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala is set to take a major stride in women-friendly tourism with the launch of 'Fresh-Up Homes' — an initiative aimed at providing clean and safe rest facilities for female travellers at rural and remote destinations. The initiative aims to address critical infrastructure gaps — especially the lack of adequate sanitation facilities — in emerging tourist destinations along with women empowerment by offering financial support to 100 women-led Fresh-Up Homes across the state. The project is being implemented by the Kerala Responsible Tourism Mission Society (KRTM), and Rs 25 lakh has been allocated for it. Each Fresh-Up Home will feature essential amenities including a toilet, bathroom, clean water, ventilation, lighting and a sanitary pad incinerator — creating a safe and hygienic pit stop for women on the move. An senior official with the tourism department said women entrepreneurs registered with the KRTM will receive a financial grant of Rs 25,000 per unit. The subsidy will be disbursed in two instalments — Rs 12,000 upfront and Rs 13,000 after the completion of the facility. 'Fresh-Up Homes can be set up on private land owned by the entrepreneur or attached to existing homes, making it a flexible and low-investment business model,' the official said.

Yesvantpur - Kacheguda Vande Bharat Express to run with 16 coaches from Tomorrow
Bengaluru: The South Western Railway has announced the expansion of the Kacheguda–Yesvantpur–Kacheguda Vande Bharat Express, a premier high-speed train service between Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Starting July 10, the train will operate with 16 coaches, doubling its capacity to accommodate 1,128 passengers. Previously running with just 8 coaches and a seating capacity of 530 passengers, the Vande Bharat Express on this route will now feature 14 Chair Cars (1,024 seats) and 2 Executive Class coaches (104 seats). This move is aimed at meeting the increasing demand from passengers traveling between the two major IT hubs of South India. Train No. 20703/20704 was initially launched with 1 Executive Coach and 7 Chair Cars. Responding to the significant rise in passenger demand, the railway authorities have decided to add 8 more coaches to the rake. Speaking on the development, Sandeep Mathur, General Manager, South Western Railway, said: 'Doubling the number of coaches will greatly enhance the availability of seats for passengers travelling between Bengaluru and Hyderabad. This expansion will improve travel convenience for IT professionals, business travellers, and tourists alike.' The Vande Bharat Express between Kacheguda and Yesvantpur was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 24, 2023. With this latest upgrade, the train service promises a more comfortable and efficient journey for a larger number of travelers. The railway authorities have assured that all new coaches are equipped with modern amenities and safety features, maintaining the premium standards of Vande Bharat trains. This enhancement is a part of the broader initiative to boost regional connectivity and promote faster, safer travel in South India.

While there were 3,348 bookings in April-May or 55 per day during the two months, this surged to 16,559 bookings or 552 per day in June. Govt expects that as the number offacilities increase, there will be a further rise in the number of bookings. The scheme was launched to address the hardship faced by drivers who often slept in trucks or at dhahas due to lack of good and affordable places along highways. Officials said over 65,000 drivers have downloaded the Apna Ghar mobile app and registered on it. To attract more users, a scheme offering free dormitory stays was introduced in June 2025 with the condition that drivers have to buy 50 litres of high-speed diesel from Apna Ghar sites. The promotional scheme will run for three months, they said. As of June, 368 Apna Ghar have been set up by oil marketing companies (OMCs) including four on the under-construction Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.
