Mangaluru, Jan 25 (PTI) A young couple from Byndoor in Udupi district, who got a mention in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat', for opting to clean the Someshwara beach instead of a honeymoon trip, have received an invitation to witness the Republic Day Parade in New Delhi.
The couple, Anudeep and Minusha, who received the invitation from the Prime Minister's office (PMO), have already left for Delhi, sources said.
