Mangaluru, Jan 20: Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji, the chief pontiff of Pejawar Mutt, who was on a trip to Mantralayam in Andhra Pradesh suffered a back sprain due to a speed breaker on road while travelling in a car.

According to sources, the 86-year-old seer was on the way back from Mantralayam to Hyderabad on Friday when the incident took place. When the car reached Nandyal in Kurnool district, the driver failed to notice the speed breaker. The car jumped all of a sudden and this caused sprain at the seer’s back. 

After the first aid treatment, doctors found him fit to travel from Hyderabad to Udupi. The seer flew from Hyderabad to the Mangaluru International Airport and from there travelled to Udupi by car. He reached the mutt at around 10 am.

"It is a sprain. The seer seems to be fine. He has been advised bed rest for a week. The doctor hasn't prescribed any medication other than rest," said Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, president, DK Kannada Sahitya Parishad, who spoke to the seer after the incident.

Mangaluru, June 22: A chartered flight from Dammam with more than 170 stranded Saudi Kannadiga passengers landed at Mangaluru International Airport at 8.53 pm. 

The flight was chartered by Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum (SKHF), an unregistered NGO, which was formed recently to help the Kannadigas stranded in Saudi Arabia due to covid-19 lockdown under the leadership of Zakariya Jokatte, president of Jubail unit of Bearys Chamber of Commerce and Industry and KS Sheikh Karnire, Director of Expertise Contracting Co. Ltd, Saudi Arabia.

There were 165 adults and 8 infants on board the IndiGo flight. All the passengers were screened at the airport. They will be dispatched to quarantine centres after completing formalities. 

SKHF had launched an online portal to assist those who were in need of emergency repatriation such as elderly people, those who lost their jobs, pregnant women and those who are in need of emergency medical treatment back home in India. 

SKHF coordinated with the authorities concerned to carry out all the formalities and legal procedures in Saudi Arabia. SKHF members were present at the Dammam Airport to help the passengers during the departure. 

Mr Jokatte and Mr Sheikh have thanked U T Khader, Mangaluru MLA and Dr Arathi Krishna, former deputy chairperson of NRI forum of government of Karnataka, for their help in chartering the flight.

Chamaranagara, Mar 29: As many as 595 Tamil Nadu-based fishermen, who were working in Mangaluru, crossed the Karnataka border and reached their state via Chamarajanagar on Saturday.

Police said following the lockdown, the fishermen had left Mangaluru in more than 20 vehicles. The fishermen crossed the Karnataka border through Punajur check-post. However, the vehicles returned after dropping them near Hasanur check-post in Tamil Nadu.

As the fishermen had no proper documents, they were stopped by Tamil Nadu Police. However, the police allowed them after screening. The Tamil Nadu government arranged vehicles to ferry them, said a police officer.
