Mangalore, Sep 24: World has become more materialistic with people having very little time to ddiscuss rationalism and socialism, said M Jayanand Devadiga, Secretary, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi District Backward Classes' Union.

He was speaking after receiving the'Suvarnashree Award' by Akhila Bharatha Billawa Union (ABBU) and Narayana Guru Educational Institutes on founder's day celebrations at Damodhara R Suvarna Auditorium, Kudroli on Tuesday.

“In past no Dalit, Billava and backward caste member was allowed inside the temple. Dalits were more exploited by so called upper classes," he said.

Minister for Fisheries, Youth Welfare and Sports K Abhayachandra Jain inaugurating the formal function of founder's day celebrations said, “when leaders run behind politicians asking seats in polls, M Jayanand Devadiga worked restlessly for the development of backward classes and stood by his dignity and self-esteem. Only few come forward to work without any expectations in present era and make their presence by deeds”, he said.

Urging youngsters to serve society K Abhaya Chandra Jain said “you need to walk on the principles of Narayana Guru and build a strong nation.”

Founder's day program was followed by blood donation camp at Narayana Guru College.

Member of Parliament, Nalin Kumar Kateel, Dr Vasanth Kumar, Principal, Narayana Guru College and Navinchandra D Suvarna of ABBU were present during the occasion.

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’.
