From Slum Lanes to a National Vision: Mangan Thomas Rijoy Introduces Desiya Suraksha Party
Chennai, India | October 8, 2026
Desiya Suraksha Party emerges from five years of grassroots work through the Secure Our City campaign, with a focus on safety, housing, education and healthcare.
“Why should a woman feel unsafe in her own street?” This question became the starting point of Secure Our City, a community safety campaign initiated by Mangan Thomas Rijoy (MTR), President of Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP)
According to the campaign's account, the initiative began in Chennai five years ago with a commitment to provide 10,000 free CCTV cameras in selected Indian cities. Working without NGO backing, corporate funding or political support, the campaign reports that it has helped secure 5,000 houses in Chennai's slum communities.
However, years of working closely with residents led MTR to reconsider what safety means for families facing economic hardship.
Living and interacting with communities helped bring wider challenges into focus, including inadequate housing, access to food, healthcare, clothing and education. The experience shaped a broader vision that extends beyond surveillance and neighbourhood security
“A camera cannot secure a hungry stomach. A camera cannot secure a homeless family,” MTR said, describing the thinking behind the next phase of his work
This experience eventually led to the formation of Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP), a political initiative intended, according to its stated mission, to raise questions about public accountability, resource distribution and the living conditions of ordinary citizens.
 
Desiya Suraksha Party's Key Prioritie
DSP has outlined five principal commitments in its proposed social agenda
Housing for every family: A minimum 500-square-foot home for every Indian family.
Dignity and basic necessities: Access to good-quality clothing and essential living conditions.
Free education and healthcare: Education and medical services at international standards, provided free of charge.
A future for every child: A home, family environment and future for children without parental care, with the state acting as guardian where necessary.
Safety for women and children: Recognition of personal safety as a fundamental right rather than merely a government scheme.
These commitments represent the party's stated policy vision. Their implementation would require detailed plans covering funding, administration, eligibility and delivery.
 
A Campaign with a Wider Purpose
The Secure Our City initiative was originally intended to establish a community safety model that could later expand through SecureCam India and potential corporate social responsibility (CSR) funding.
DSP now says the campaign will continue alongside its broader social agenda. Following its first Maanadu, scheduled for December 10, 2026, in Chennai, the party plans to expand the initiative across India.
The campaign also proposes security audits for homes and buildings, with a minimum security guarantee. Further details on implementation and coverage are expected to clarify how this proposal would operate.
 
Beginning in Tamil Nadu and Kerala
 
DSP has identified Tamil Nadu and Kerala as the starting points for its next phase. MTR has invited people interested in community safety and social welfare to learn about the party and its stated objectives.
The party's central message is that public safety involves more than preventing crime. It also encompasses access to shelter, healthcare, education and dignified living conditions.
As DSP prepares for its December gathering, the transition from a neighbourhood CCTV campaign to a broader political platform marks a new stage in MTR's stated public-service journey.

Trailer Driving School in Kerala: Master the Reverse That Fails Most Candidates, on A2Z's Own Trailers


A2Z International Heavy Equipment Institute, training drivers and operators in Kerala since 1978, runs normal and container trailer courses on its own vehicles and practice ground, with 19 branches and a main campus at Willingdon Island, Kochi.A2Z International Heavy Equipment Institute runs two trailer courses, one for normal trailers and one for container trailers, aimed at drivers who want work at ports, with logistics companies and in heavy haulage in India and the Gulf. The institute says most candidates underestimate the same two things: the order in which the licences have to be earned, and reversing an articulated vehicle.
The licence is a ladder
A trailer licence is not a standalone licence. It is an endorsement added to an existing heavy vehicle licence, and it sits at the top of a sequence. A driver starts with an LMV licence, adds a transport or commercial endorsement, moves up to a heavy goods vehicle licence (HMV or HTV), and only then qualifies for the trailer endorsement that covers articulated and multi-axle vehicles. Each step generally requires holding the previous one for a qualifying period set by the RTO. Commercial driving in Kerala also needs a separate driver's badge.
"Half the people who call us have planned around a timeline they read online, and then find their licence dates don't qualify them yet," said Aravind, Executive Director of A2Z International Heavy Equipment Institute. "The first thing any trailer driving school in Kerala should do is look at what you hold and when you got it. Then we can tell you your real route, and it saves people months."
What the practical test asks for
The trailer practical tests five things: a pre-trip inspection including the coupling, coupling and uncoupling, controlled manoeuvring and turning with the articulation, reversing, and safe road handling under load. Reversing is where most candidates fail. In reverse, an articulated trailer swings the opposite way to the steering input.
"People expect the highway to be the hard part," Aravind said. "Then you ask a man to reverse a trailer into a bay, and for the first week he turns the wheel the wrong way every time. You can't learn that from a video. You need hours on a real trailer with an instructor next to you telling you what your hands are doing."
Two courses on one owned fleet
A2Z trains on trailers it owns, on a dedicated practice ground, instead of booking time on hired vehicles. Students can choose normal trailer training or container trailer training. Both follow a seven-stage curriculum: vehicle parts, controls and pre-trip checks; coupling and uncoupling; reversing, turning and manoeuvring; container handling and load securing; highway driving, gradients and braking; daily checks and basic maintenance; and licence and assessment preparation.
Graduates receive ISO and Operator Card certification along with guidance on heavy transport licensing. The main campus at Willingdon Island has a hostel for students who travel in.
A trailer driving school in Kerala with its own vehicles can give students more practice. On a hired trailer, time runs out when the booking ends. On an owned one, students keep practising until the reverse is under control.
An institute of firsts since 1978
A2Z opened in 1978. It is the only JCB-authorised operator training institute in Kerala and the state's only fixed tower crane training institute, and it was the first in Kerala to offer imported Zoomlion crane operator training. It owns every machine and vehicle it trains on and works with more than 527 placement partner companies.
Where trailer drivers work
The institute describes trailer driving as one of the better-paying commercial driving categories. Demand comes from Kerala's ports, from logistics corridors across India, and from heavy haulage in the Gulf. Graduates train for roles as trailer drivers, container and port trailer drivers, transport and logistics drivers, and heavy vehicle drivers in India and the Gulf.
Gulf haulage employers usually require a practical trade test. A2Z runs that test at its own Heavy Equipment International Trade Test Centre at Willingdon Island, following the skill verification requirements of GCC countries including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait. Candidates train and test on the same trailers.
A2Z provides training, assessment and placement assistance. It does not recruit for overseas jobs and refers candidates who want to work abroad to licensed recruiting agents.
Who can join
Entry depends on the licence ladder rather than on education. The minimum age follows RTO norms for heavy vehicles, which is higher than the age for a car licence. Candidates need basic physical fitness and government photo ID and proof of address, and an existing light vehicle licence helps.
Anyone comparing a trailer driving school in Kerala can ask three things: whether the school owns its trailers, whether it offers container trailer training as well as normal trailer training, and whether it can run the trade test that Gulf employers ask for.

Nature Hospitality Expands Reach With New International Tour Packages


INDIA — Nature Hospitality, a travel and hospitality provider that has spent over a decade building its name around domestic getaways in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and other Indian destinations, has now widened its portfolio to include a full lineup of international tour packages.The company, established in 2014, built its early reputation on curated trips to the Himalayan belt, Wayanad, Munnar, and island destinations such as Lakshadweep. Its move into international travel marks a shift for a brand that has largely been associated with domestic holidays until now.
The new offering includes Paris tour packages built around the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and the Seine River, along with broader Europe tour packages covering France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Travelers looking specifically at the Alps and lake country can also choose dedicated Switzerland tour packages.
Beyond Europe, Nature Hospitality has added USA tour packages featuring New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami, as well as Australia tour packages built around Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast. The company has also introduced Japan tour packages covering Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Mount Fuji, giving travelers a route into a market that combines modern cities with traditional culture.
For travelers drawn to desert landscapes and city luxury, the company has rolled out Dubai tour packages that include desert safaris, shopping, and sightseeing alongside stays at upscale hotels. South Africa tour packages round out the list, taking travelers through Cape Town, Johannesburg, and wildlife safaris across the country's landscapes.
"Our clients have been asking for the same kind of planning and support they got on their India trips, but for international destinations," the company said. "This expansion is our way of answering that demand without changing how we work with people."
That approach includes honeymoon and family packages, which the company has customized for couples, families, and groups traveling together. Nature Hospitality is also continuing its practice of building personalized itineraries from scratch, based on a traveler's destination, budget, travel dates, and specific preferences, rather than relying only on fixed departures.
Industry watchers have pointed to a broader trend behind this kind of expansion. Indian travelers have increasingly moved from domestic weekend trips toward longer international holidays over the past few years, a shift that has pushed many established domestic operators to add global destinations to their catalogs.
Nature Hospitality's past reviews, many tied to its Himalayan and Kerala tours, have often highlighted the hands-on support its team provides during a trip, including arranging local transport and adjusting plans on short notice. The company says it intends to carry that same level of involvement into its international bookings, from visa guidance to on-ground coordination at each destination.
The company has not limited its international packages to a single style of travel. Its catalog spans romantic city breaks in Paris, adventure-driven safaris in South Africa, beach and city combinations in Australia, and cultural circuits through Japan, giving it a spread that can serve very different types of travelers under one brand.
With this expansion, Nature Hospitality positions itself to compete for a segment of travelers who previously would have booked international trips through separate specialist agencies for each region. By keeping planning, budgeting, and support under one roof, the company is betting that convenience will be as strong a draw as the destinations themselves.
Nature Hospitality says more destinations and packages are expected to be added to its international lineup in the coming months, as it continues building out this side of the business alongside its existing domestic operations.
For those interested in Paris, Europe, USA, Australia, South Africa, Japan, Dubai, Switzerland, honeymoon and family holidays, or a fully customized international itinerary, Nature Hospitality can be reached through its official website and customer support channels.

Trailer Driving School in Kerala: Master the Reverse That Fails Most Candidates, on A2Z's Own Trailers


A2Z International Heavy Equipment Institute, training drivers and operators in Kerala since 1978, runs normal and container trailer courses on its own vehicles and practice ground, with 19 branches and a main campus at Willingdon Island, Kochi.A2Z International Heavy Equipment Institute runs two trailer courses, one for normal trailers and one for container trailers, aimed at drivers who want work at ports, with logistics companies and in heavy haulage in India and the Gulf.

A driver starts with an LMV licence, adds a transport or commercial endorsement, moves up to a heavy goods vehicle licence (HMV or HTV), and only then qualifies for the trailer endorsement that covers articulated and multi-axle vehicles. Each step generally requires holding the previous one for a qualifying period set by the RTO. Commercial driving in Kerala also needs a separate driver's badge.
"Half the people who call us have planned around a timeline they read online, and then find their licence dates don't qualify them yet," said Aravind, Executive Director of A2Z International Heavy Equipment Institute. "The first thing any trailer driving school in Kerala should do is look at what you hold and when you got it. Then we can tell you your real route, and it saves people months."
What the practical test asks for
The trailer practical tests five things: a pre-trip inspection including the coupling, coupling and uncoupling, controlled manoeuvring and turning with the articulation, reversing, and safe road handling under load. Reversing is where most candidates fail. In reverse, an articulated trailer swings the opposite way to the steering input.
"People expect the highway to be the hard part," Aravind said. "Then you ask a man to reverse a trailer into a bay, and for the first week he turns the wheel the wrong way every time. You can't learn that from a video. You need hours on a real trailer with an instructor next to you telling you what your hands are doing."
Two courses on one owned fleet
A2Z trains on trailers it owns, on a dedicated practice ground, instead of booking time on hired vehicles. Students can choose normal trailer training or container trailer training. Both follow a seven-stage curriculum: vehicle parts, controls and pre-trip checks; coupling and uncoupling; reversing, turning and manoeuvring; container handling and load securing; highway driving, gradients and braking; daily checks and basic maintenance; and licence and assessment preparation.
Graduates receive ISO and Operator Card certification along with guidance on heavy transport licensing. The main campus at Willingdon Island has a hostel for students who travel in.
A trailer driving school in Kerala with its own vehicles can give students more practice. On a hired trailer, time runs out when the booking ends. On an owned one, students keep practising until the reverse is under control.
An institute of firsts since 1978
A2Z opened in 1978. It is the only JCB-authorised operator training institute in Kerala and the state's only fixed tower crane training institute, and it was the first in Kerala to offer imported Zoomlion crane operator training. It owns every machine and vehicle it trains on and works with more than 527 placement partner companies.
Where trailer drivers work
The institute describes trailer driving as one of the better-paying commercial driving categories. Demand comes from Kerala's ports, from logistics corridors across India, and from heavy haulage in the Gulf. Graduates train for roles as trailer drivers, container and port trailer drivers, transport and logistics drivers, and heavy vehicle drivers in India and the Gulf.
Gulf haulage employers usually require a practical trade test. A2Z runs that test at its own Heavy Equipment International Trade Test Centre at Willingdon Island, following the skill verification requirements of GCC countries including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait. Candidates train and test on the same trailers.
A2Z provides training, assessment and placement assistance. It does not recruit for overseas jobs and refers candidates who want to work abroad to licensed recruiting agents.
Who can join
Entry depends on the licence ladder rather than on education. The minimum age follows RTO norms for heavy vehicles, which is higher than the age for a car licence. Candidates need basic physical fitness and government photo ID and proof of address, and an existing light vehicle licence helps.
Anyone comparing a trailer driving school in Kerala can ask three things: whether the school owns its trailers, whether it offers container trailer training as well as normal trailer training, and whether it can run the trade test that Gulf employers ask for.

Nature Hospitality Expands Reach With New International Tour Packages


INDIA — Nature Hospitality, a travel and hospitality provider that has spent over a decade building its name around domestic getaways in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and other Indian destinations, has now widened its portfolio to include a full lineup of international tour packages.The company, established in 2014, built its early reputation on curated trips to the Himalayan belt, Wayanad, Munnar, and island destinations such as Lakshadweep. Its move into international travel marks a shift for a brand that has largely been associated with domestic holidays until now.
The new offering includes Paris tour packages built around the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and the Seine River, along with broader Europe tour packages covering France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Travelers looking specifically at the Alps and lake country can also choose dedicated Switzerland tour packages.
Beyond Europe, Nature Hospitality has added USA tour packages featuring New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami, as well as Australia tour packages built around Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast. The company has also introduced Japan tour packages covering Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Mount Fuji, giving travelers a route into a market that combines modern cities with traditional culture.
For travelers drawn to desert landscapes and city luxury, the company has rolled out Dubai tour packages that include desert safaris, shopping, and sightseeing alongside stays at upscale hotels. South Africa tour packages round out the list, taking travelers through Cape Town, Johannesburg, and wildlife safaris across the country's landscapes.
"Our clients have been asking for the same kind of planning and support they got on their India trips, but for international destinations," the company said. "This expansion is our way of answering that demand without changing how we work with people."
That approach includes honeymoon and family packages, which the company has customized for couples, families, and groups traveling together. Nature Hospitality is also continuing its practice of building personalized itineraries from scratch, based on a traveler's destination, budget, travel dates, and specific preferences, rather than relying only on fixed departures.
Industry watchers have pointed to a broader trend behind this kind of expansion. Indian travelers have increasingly moved from domestic weekend trips toward longer international holidays over the past few years, a shift that has pushed many established domestic operators to add global destinations to their catalogs.
Nature Hospitality's past reviews, many tied to its Himalayan and Kerala tours, have often highlighted the hands-on support its team provides during a trip, including arranging local transport and adjusting plans on short notice. The company says it intends to carry that same level of involvement into its international bookings, from visa guidance to on-ground coordination at each destination.
The company has not limited its international packages to a single style of travel. Its catalog spans romantic city breaks in Paris, adventure-driven safaris in South Africa, beach and city combinations in Australia, and cultural circuits through Japan, giving it a spread that can serve very different types of travelers under one brand.
With this expansion, Nature Hospitality positions itself to compete for a segment of travelers who previously would have booked international trips through separate specialist agencies for each region. By keeping planning, budgeting, and support under one roof, the company is betting that convenience will be as strong a draw as the destinations themselves.
Nature Hospitality says more destinations and packages are expected to be added to its international lineup in the coming months, as it continues building out this side of the business alongside its existing domestic operations.
For those interested in Paris, Europe, USA, Australia, South Africa, Japan, Dubai, Switzerland, honeymoon and family holidays, or a fully customized international itinerary, Nature Hospitality can be reached through its official website and customer support channels.
