KOCHI: The Popular Rally was flagged off by Hibi Eden MLA at the Marine Drive ground here on Saturday.
As many as 27 cars are taking part in the competition being held in various categories - Open category, INRC 3 category, Esteem category, Gypsy category and FMSCI cup category.

The rally will begin at 6 am on Sunday on the closed roads inside plantations in the Malayattoor and Kalady area. “We will cover a total distance of around 300 km as part of the competition.
