Hence, it is very important to have a thorough knowledge of mediclaim plan s .

If all goes well, you may be able to see your Royal Enfield motorcycle getting built at their factory. Eicher Motors-controlled niche bike brand Royal Enfield is considering the proposition to allow some of its bike buyers  witness the actual manufacturing process of their bikes. Automotive companies have in the past taken stakeholders, analysts and journalists to witness the manufacturing process at their plants. But if the proposal gets accepted at Royal Enfield, it will be the first of its kind customer experiment done by a vehicle manufacturer in India. Sources told Moneycontrol that the maker of Classic 500 and Himalayan has appointed a small internal team to oversee these plans.

It undercuts the standard Pulsar 150 Twin Disc by Rs 10,118, making the Pulsar 150 Classic an attractive option for buyers looking for an affordable 150cc premium motorcycle while compromising on some features.

The Railways is more often criticised for the lack of cleanliness and poor delivery of services. However, this will change soon as the Northern wing of the Indian Railways is all set to use WhatsApp for monitoring cleanliness in trains. With the help of technology, the Railways aims to bring about greater transparency and accountability in its functioning.
