Bajaj Auto launches low cost car RE 60
Bajaj Auto, a listed two-wheeler and three-wheeler company, announced the launch of RE 60, an ultra-low cost car. The company claims that the car would have a mileage of close to 40 km per litre and will have a 200 cc engine.
The car will be launched in 2012. However, the car might be exported first before it is available here in India.
"We could launch the four wheeler first in Sri Lanka," said Bajaj.
The engine is a new water cooled DTSi (Digital Twin Spark Ignition) 4 valve and would give a maximum speed of 70km per hour. The car has a seating capacity of four people. It has been designed and developed fully by Bajaj Auto and not with Renault or Nissan Motors.

"We have developed a four wheel vehicle with mileage of nearly 40 km / litre. The car emits carbondioxide of just 60 gm per km," he told reporters.
Bajaj Auto is known for its two wheelers and three-wheelers. The company is making a four-wheeler for the first time.
However, the company could sell the car to Renault or Nissan Motors with minor modifications if they wish.
Acc. sorces .. RE 60 may price between 1,25,000 to 1,50,000

Sabarimala pilgrims facing hardships
Though the number of Sabarimala pilgrims arriving at the Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple is increasing day by day, the lack of adequate facilities is putting the pilgrims to immense suffering.
''Inadequate number of toilets is one of the main problems faced by pilgrims from other states,'' said Subrahmanian, a devotee who arrived from Tamil Nadu.
''The City Corporation, which has the responsibility to ensure facilities for pilgrims, is doing very little,'' said Ayyappa Seva Samajam secretary Jayakumar.
''The three toilet complexes in front of the temple are quite inadequate to cater to the demands of the large number of pilgrims. The Corporation should set up temporary toilets near the temple,'' he said.
''There is sufficient space near the Vaikuntam and the Bhajanappura palace to set up temporary toilets,'' he said. Some pilgrims complained that the hotels and wayside eateries are charging exorbitant rates from pilgrims too.
''Many of us who arrive from other states are poor. But we are charged high rates at these hotels,'' said Aditya, a driver and a pilgrim who came from Karnataka. Most of the hotels still do not display the price list, despite a warning from the district administration.
Though sufficient traffic personnel were absent in the initial days, more number of policemen have been deployed near the temple on Sunday. Pilgrims' vehicles are now diverted to Attukal, Enchakkal and Karikkakom areas now. But absence of toilet facilities is posing problems for pilgrims arriving at Enchakkal.
The temple authorities should take steps to put an end to the fleecing of pilgrims in the temple, said Jayakumar. ''Traders inside the temple complex give pilgrims the 'thattam' with coconut, fruits and flowers to be offered to the Lord. But many come to know that it would cost them Rs 50 only when they are approached by their agents near the main door,'' said Jayakumar.
Many also flayed the special 'darshan' offered by charging Rs 20 from Sabarimala pilgrims. ''This is a discrimination to the pilgrims from distant places. The temple authorities' claim that the amount is to be paid to the staff who do additional work is laughable,'' said Pradeep, a local.

Why this kolaveri, Dhanush?
Dhanush, the new generation poetu, has taken music lovers, especially those young at the heart, by awe with his latest song, 'Why this kolaveri di...' from '3', his pet project that is being directed by his wife Aishwarya Dhanush. He shares screen space with Shruti Haasan in the film.
Even as two songs with colloquial lyrics from 'Mayakkam Enna' are sky-rocketing the charts, this song has come as yet another surprise from the National Award winning actor. Tunes for '3' have been composed by debutant Anirudh, who we must say, has managed to make a good impact with his very first single, especially in social networking sites.
The rough cut of the song was leaked and created waves in the internet. Following which, making the best of this response, the makers released the official version of the song which is way better than the rough cut in every aspect. They also released the making of the song, which has received more than one lakh views overnight!
If the rest of the album is to be as entertaining as this single track, Anirudh is sure here to stay!
