Dharwad, Feb 16: Rich tributes were paid to the 44 CRPF jawans killed in an attack by Pakistan sponsored Jaish-E-Mohemmed terrorist at Awantipore in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. Members of several organizations visited the Kargil War Memorial at the deputy commissioner’s office premises on Friday and offered floral tributes to the slain soldiers.

Condolence meetings and candle light marches were also held at several places. While the mourners expressed grief over the attack, there was loud demand from people to take severe action against Pakistan and terrorist camps to avenge the killings.

Cutting across party lines, leaders and citizens said they stood by the families of the soldiers, armed forces and the Central government. They said they would support action against Pakistan which has been sponsoring terrorists against India. They also welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that the armed forces have been given a green signal to do whatever is necessary to avenge the killings of Indian jawans and teach Pakistan an unforgettable lesson. Merchants, lawyers, students, teachers, members of Dalit Sangharsha Samiti and other organizations held separate meetings to condole the death of the jawans.

Members of Facebook group Dharwad Bonds took out a candle light march from Kadapa Maidan while members of Veer Sawarkar Geleyara Balaga held a meeting at Malamaddi.

Former minister Vinay Kulkarni along with Congress workers placed a wreath at the Kargil Stoopa while BJP workers and corporators offered floral tributes. JD(S) members too visited the memorial and offered tributes. Krishna Joshi and Chandrashelhar Aminagad of Uttara Karnataka Sainik Kalyana Samiti also paid tributes.

Merchants Association member Uday Yandigeri and Dharwad Bar Association president R U Bellakki demanded a conclusive action against Pakistan by harbouring terrorists and running a proxy war against India.

Mangaluru, Jul 13: Air India Express flight brought around 170 passengers from Bahrain to Mangaluru under Vande Bharat Mission yesterday. 

This is the first VBM flight from Bahrain to Mangaluru. The flight took off from Bahrain at 10 am on Sunday and landed at Mangaluru International airport at 4.45 pm. 

Even though thousands of Indian expatriates from other gulf countries were brought to Mangaluru in past few weeks, no flight was arranged from Bahrain so far. Hence, several Mangalureans including senior citizens, women and patients were stranded in Bahrain for months together.

Local entrepreneur and president of Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) Mohammed Mansoor, who saw the plight of the hapless Indian expatriates in Bahrain had discussions with the Indian embassy in Bahrain and convinced it to arrange a special Air India Express flight under the Vande Bharat Mission. 

IOC, along with the cooperation of ‘KHK Heroes’ had arranged meal kits for passengers during their flight to Mangaluru. IOC had also contacted all the Mangaluru-based NRIs who wanted to fly back to India and made a list with the help of Indian embassy to avoid any untoward incidents.

IOC had also given details of hotels to be quarantined in Mangaluru and Udupi, names of nodal officers to be contacted and emergency telephone numbers. The passengers were given a warm farewell by the office bearers of IOC from Bahrain international airport.

The effort taken by Mohammed Mansoor, president of IOC is lauded by all. All the passengers who travelled by the flight have thanked IOC and its office bearers whole heartedly.
