Mangaluru, Jun 27: SSLC students from Thota Bengre here rely on trawl boats to travel to Bunder from Thota Bengre to be able to appear for their examinations at the centres in the city allotted to them.
Even though the students have the option of using the road for their travel, the land route involves a lot longer than the water route. The students have to take the boats to enable them to reach their examination centres on time.
Once they reach Bunder area, they use auto rickshaws to go to their examination centres.
Over 15 SSLC students from Thotabengre travel by boat in this way. Thota Bengre is an isle formed at the confluence of river and sea.
