New Delhi, July 30: Slamming the Karnataka government for failing to stop attacks by Hindu outfits on young boys and girls in the State in name of moral policing, the Centre today demanded firm action against the "hoodlums" for such acts.

I&B Minister Ambika Soni said incidents of moral policing like the one in Mangalore last Saturday have been enacted earlier too and inaction by the state government is only encouraging elements with "sick minds" from resorting to such offences.

"I think the state government should have stepped in long ago because not stepping in and not dealing with them firmly is only encouraging them. Nobody under the law of the land under the Indian Constitution has the right to violate the modesty of women or any other Indian citizen," Soni said.

Referring to visuals aired by TV channels, she told Headlines Today that there is "proof to take them (the attackers) under arrest... these people should be behind bars. Their minds are sick." Suspected Hindu Jagarane Vedike activists carried out attacks on young boys and girls at a private home-stay in Mangalore on Saturday last alleging that a rave party was on at the home stay where illegal activities were going on.

"If you are entertaining a friend, celebrating a birthday party or celebrating the birth of a child in your own home, no one has the right to trespass your home," Soni asserted.

Twelve persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.

New Delhi, Jul 3: The aviation regulator DGCA said on Friday it was extending the suspension of scheduled international passenger flights in the country till July 31 but added that some international scheduled services on selected routes may be permitted on a case to case basis.

Scheduled international passenger flights were suspended in India on March 23 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Modifying its June 26 circular that stated that scheduled international passenger flights will remain suspended till July 15, 2020, the regulator stated on Friday it has decided to extend the deadline to July 31, 2020.

However, international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case to case basis,” said the circular by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

Air India and other private domestic airlines have been operating unscheduled international repatriation flights under the Vande Bharat Mission, which was started on May 6 by the Central government.

India resumed scheduled domestic passenger flights on May 25, after a gap of two months.
