A video viral on social media shows a student being paraglided from Harrison Folly Point along the Pasarni Ghat section of the route connecting Panchgani- Mahabaleshwar, Satara, Maharashtra to reach the exam centre. He had to reach his exam centre but due to the crowd of tourists, travelling through the ghat to reach the exam centre would take a lot of time and he was short of time. The student was getting late to reach his examination centre, so he found an idea and reached his examination centre by flying in the air through paragliding. Then he was seen reaching the exam centre via paragliding from Harrison's Folly Point via the Pasarni Ghat section.
