BJP holds Karnataka govt responsible for distorted map in Malaysian magazine

June 22, 2015

Bengaluru, Jun 22: Karnataka government today landed in a controversy over a distorted map of India in an advertisement allegedly published by it in a Malaysian magazine, showing part of Jammu and Kashmir and the North-East missing from it.

malaysiaThe BJP, which pointed out the lapse, sought an explanation from the Congress government.

Speaking to PTI, senior BJP spokesperson and former Karnataka Minister Suresh Kumar said it was a very serious matter since it is an issue of sovereignty, which will only "delight" countries who are at loggerheads with India.

"This is a very serious matter which affects the sovereignty of India. Many international forces, including Pakistan and China will take delight in such a lapse," he said.

Kumar said the lapse was "unpardonable" and nobody, specially government, had any right to commit such a grave mistake.

He demanded that the government immediately lodge a complaint with the publisher in Malaysia and ask it to withdraw the controversial advertisement, and also blacklist the agency contracted for the event, in Malaysia.

However, Karnataka Tourism Minister R V Deshpande said the government was not responsible for the lapse since the advertisements were released by agencies contracted for the event, in Malaysia.

"The ad was released by a Singapore-based company which was given the responsibility of the event, in Malaysia. No way, our government is responsible for the lapse. We did not release the ads," he said.

Countering this, Kumar said since the event is being organised by Karnataka Tourism Department, the government cannot shirk its responsibility.

"The programme is being organised by Karnataka Tourism Department, which is a part of the government. Then, how can the minister shirk its responsibility. No, he cannot," he said.

PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association) Travel Mart, an annual PATA signature event and a premier travel trade show in the Asia Pacific region, is being held here in September. PATA is coming to Bengaluru for the first time, and for the third time to India.

That is because the e-cigs are mufh more efficient in keeping the blood nicotine
levels above the threshold that triggers a normal smoker to
reach forr another cigarette. Secondly, when discussing health and safety,
you have to take into account thhe health andd safety of people who smoke traditional tobacco cigarettes.
A few online shops offer ttop of the line, premium e-juice tnat produces massive amounts of vapor that you can see and taste, but you will have tto kewep your eye out for the right ones and don't
be fooled by the shops that have flashy designs with hardly any flavor.

Free mqrkets ' not government ' will ultimately help separate the beest

Mangaluru, Jan 10: Two members of a notorious honey-trap gang that used to lure rich men using women and then extort money from them by staging fake police raid have been arrested by the Dakshina Kannada district police.

Lohith, a resident of Kushalnagara, and Sharif from Vittal, were arrested in connection with a honey-trap case registered in Uppinangady police station. Jamal, Jeevan and Naushad, who were also involved in the case, are absconding.

Police said they received information that a few people under the guise of being Kerala police, were planning to raid a resort near Uppinangady where two couples were staying.

They were informed that they would threaten and try to extort money from them. The police were tipped off about the same by their counterparts in Kerala.

Police said the accused are experts in setting honeytraps, and were involved in similar crimes since a long time. Their modus operandi was to use two women from Mangaluru to lure their intended targets.

Once they trap their target, the woman and victim are sent to resorts. They then raid the resort posing as police officials, and click pictures in compromising positions of the victim with the woman.

They threaten to release the pictures on social media or TV channels, if they fail to pay up.

Police said the accused demanded Rs 10 lakh from each victim, but they denied to pay up. Irked by this, the accused took away the victims’ belongings such as phone, money and car.

The victims who believed that the accused were police personnel, asked them to take them to the police station. Instead of taking them to the police, the accused took them to a secluded place, where they claimed that they were putting the victims under house arrest. Police have seized an SUV from the accused.

Mangaluru, Aug 8: As visuals of the Air India Express flight crash at Kozhikode international airport emerge, one cannot help but be reminded of an eerily similar and unfortunate accident that occurred a decade ago. The August 7, 2020 tragedy brought back memories of the 2010 crash.

It was on May 22, 2010 that an Air India Express Boeing 737-800 flight from Dubai to Mangaluru over shot the runway while landing at Bajpe airport and fell into a cliff. Of the 160 passengers and 6 crew members on board, 158 were killed (all crew members and 152 passengers) and only 8 survived.

Even back then, the plane had split into two. The crash has been termed as one of India's worst aviation disasters.

The final conversations between Air traffic control (ATC) and the pilot prior to the landing showed no indication of any distress.

Like the Mangaluru accident, Karipur crash too happened when the flight was attempting to land.

The captain of the aircraft which crashed at Mangaluru, Z Glucia, was an experienced pilot with 10,000 hours of flying experience and had 19 landings at the Mangalore airport. Co-pilot S S Ahluwalia, with 3,000 hours of flying experience had as many as 66 landings at this airport. Both the pilot and co-pilot were among the victims.

An investigation into the accident later found that the cause of the accident was the captain’s failure to discontinue an ‘unstabilised approach’ and his persistence to continue with the landing, despite three calls from the First Officer to ‘go-around’.
