A student in Maharashtra's Satara district found an innovative solution to beat heavy traffic so he paraglided to his exam center. The student, Samarth Mahangade from Pasarani village in Wai taluka, has become a social media sensation after a video showed him flying through the sky with his college bag.
Samarth was in Panchgani for personal work but realized he had only 15-20 minutes to reach his exam venue. He knew he would get stuck in massive traffic on the Pasarani Ghat section of the Wai-Panchgani road so he opted for this unconventional transportation method.
