Udupi, May 31: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has slammed the chief minister H D Kumaraswamy led-coalition government for what she felt the lack of importance given to the relief measures in the areas affected by heavy rain which had resulted in six deaths in Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts.

Speaking to presspersons here, the BJP leader said that such heavy rain had not been seen in both these districts, especially Dakshina Kannada, for a long time. But for the last fortnight, there has been no Ministry in the State, there was only a Chief Minister and a Deputy Chief Minister, she said.

Since the Congress and Janata Dal(S) politicians were busy lobbying for loaves and fishes of office, the bureaucrats had taken it easy. It was essential that Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy ordered the officers to give priority to providing relief and assistance in the rain-affected areas, she said.

To another query, Karandlaje said that it was imperative for Mr. Kumaraswamy to waive loans taken by farmers from nationalised banks and cooperative banks. This was because in the last four days, nearly 10 farmers had committed suicide in the State unable to bear the loan burden, she said.

Manglauru, Jun 1: The southwest monsoon has made an onset over Kerala, marking the commencement of the four-month long rainfall season, the India Meteorological Department said on Monday.

"The southwest monsoon has made an onset over Kerala," IMD director general Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said.

The four-month monsoon season from June to September accounts for 75 per cent of rainfall in the country.

Private forecaster Skymet Weather on May 30 had declared arrival of monsoon, but the IMD had differed, saying conditions were not ripe then for such an announcement.

Orange alert

Meanwhile, coastal Karnataka’s Dakshina Kannada district, which is receiving sporadic rains for past couple of days, is on orange alert.

Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh declared the orange alert following IMD’s prediction of heavy rainfall in the region.

New Delhi, Feb 13: Two SpiceJet pilots have been suspended today for an improper landing at Mangalore Airport which damaged three runway edge lights. The incident took place on October 31 last year when the private carrier's Boeing 737 aircraft was returning from Dubai.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) suspended the licenses of the pilots for four-and-half months from the date of the incident.

DGCA had issued a show cause notice to the Pilot in Command and the First Officer demanding explanation of the "lapses" and found their replies unsatisfactory, the aviation watchdog said in a statement.

Investigation revealed that the touchdown was improper as it deviated to the the left on the runway in turn damaging three runway edge lights.
