Puttur, Sep 29: Nearly two weeks after his provocative speech sparked tension in Dakshina Kannada, police have arrested Hindu Jagaran Vedike leader Jagadish Karanth. 

Police sources said that Karanth, who was evading arrest for past one week, was picked up from an Airport in Bengaluru on Friday. He will be brought to Puttur to produce before the local magistrate,  sources added. 

Karanth at a public rally at Kille Maidan in Puttur on September 15 had cast professional and personal aspersion on the police officer and invoked his religion while making those accusations. 

However, police had failed to take action against Karanth for a week. This had angered Karnataka home minister R Ramalinga Reddy, who during his Mangaluru visit took Dakshina Kannada SP C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy to task. 

Following this on September 21, a case was registered in Puttur town police station against Karanth under sections 505(1) c, 505 (2), 153(A), and 189 of IPC.

Watched his hate-speech video, he has so much hatred against Muslims. This fellow can not lead a harmonious life in India as per constitutional parameters.  Either he should be behind bars as a burden to taxpayers or should be thrown out of country.

Mangaluru, Mar 10: Four airports which are run by the Airport Authority of India (AAI), including Mangaluru International airport, have been adjudged among the best aerodromes in the world, winning 10 awards in four different categories at the 2019 ASQ awards.

ASQ is a globally established programme that measures passengers’ satisfaction while traveling through an airport. Airports Council International (ACI), which is an independent agency of airport operators, carries out international benchmarking of aerodromes.

“Four AAI airports — Chandigarh, Mangaluru, Trivandrum and Lucknow — have been adjudged the best in the world in recently announced 2019 ASQ awards. These airports won 10 awards in four categories,” Airports Authority of India (AAI) said in a release here on Tuesday.

The survey measures passengers’ satisfaction across 34 key performance indicators that include eight major categories such as access, check-in, security, airport facilities, food and beverage, retail, airport environment and arrival services.

The four categories in which these airports bagged the best airport awards were size and region, environment and ambiance, customer service and infrastructure and facilitation, as per the AAI.

The survey was carried out at across 356 airports across North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

The survey results are monitored by airport tariff regulator AERA, NITI Aayog, and civil aviation Ministry, the release added.
