Mangalore, March 29: Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda has betrayed areca growers of Dakshina Kannada district by not granting them the promised compensation package alleged U T Khader, MLA.

He was addressing mediapersons at the DK District Congress office in Mangalore on Thursday.

Stating that areca growers had incurred huge losses in 2011-12 season, due to fruit rot disease (kole roga), Mr. Khader said that Chief Minister Sadananda Gowa had promised a compensation package to them while on his visit to Puttur. “The state government had asked for applications from the areca growers and the district administration even submitted a report to the government about the losses incurred. It even appealed to the government to provide a compensation of Rs 1.75 crores to the areca growers. The Chief Minister had promised the package and it was expected that he would set aside the compensation amount in the state budget but he has failed to do so”, Mr. Khader said.

The MLA added that when he raised the issue in the state assembly on Wednesday, the Chief Minister responded by saying that an all-party delegation would be taken to meet Central leaders to discuss the issue. “If Centre has to do everything what is the state government for then? Why did the state government ask for applications from the areca growers then? They have had to shell out Rs 200-300 for those applications. Representatives of banks and other societies are knocking their doors to recover funds. Can't the state government at least stop them from recovering money from them?” Mr. Khader questioned.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: The police remand of student activist Amulya Leona Noronha, who was produced before a Magistrate, after a no-show at the Metropolitan Magistrate Court, was extended by 10 more days.

The Fifth Additional Metropolitan Magistrate at the Magistrate's home on Tuesday night had remanded her to police custody for 10 days, less than the 14 days asked for by the Special Investigative Team, considering that she has already spent over four days in judicial custody.

Amulya Noronha, a student of NMKRV College for Women, had raised pro-Pakistan slogans by shouting ''Pakistan Zindabad'' at an anti-CAA protest in Bangalore on 20th February following which the city police filed a case of sedition against her.

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.
