August 30, 2016

A passenger should make the payment at the counters at the entrance of the departure and at the arrival hall to avail this service, said J T Radhakrishna, director of the airport.

While departing, the staff would take the luggage, assist in check-in and other procedures and lead them to the security hold area where passengers would be made to sit before boarding a flight. In the arrival hall, they would take the luggage, take a taxi and help till they leave.

Dear Badruddin Panambur- Suratkal

Good comment.

Comment No. 4 is also from your friend.

Similar service are given by the already engaged porter services
Who are not taking more than 100/- even if you hv 3/4 passengers
(Family bunch)even then They don't demand...Rs. 250/- too high

This is not Swagat Sewa this is Money swaha... Mangalore airport is famous for making money and looting the passengers.

Marhaba

Another way of money making tactics of airport.....why not free service...already paying so much for various services.....

This is a service and assistance of information.

Any way such needy persons are very few. Airport should provide this service as a courtesy without any charge.

WHY 250/-????????????? IT SHOULD BE FREE.............

Good Move

good initiative...

Twitter briefly blocks Karnataka BJP’s official account over provocative tweets

News Network

February 12,2020

Social media giant Twitter briefly blocked the Karnataka BJP's account after it posted several provocative tweets and taunted Muslim women.

Ironically, the BJP called its unhygienic tweets as "liberal views". "It is unfortunate that our handle was locked out by Twitter for speaking the truth about liberals," it said.

"A big thanks for your support and encouragement. Satymeva Jayate. Jai Hind," the political party said to its supporters.

However, it did not specify for how long Twitter blocked its account but tweeted again on Wednesday after Monday.

Last week Karnataka BJP drew flak on Twitter for taking a swipe at Muslim women who appear to be standing in a line to vote in Delhi's assembly polls. ""Kaagaz Nahi Dikayenge Hum" ! ! ! Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR exercise (sic)," the party's Karnataka Twitter handle posted using the hashtag #DelhiPolls2020.

It tweeted on Monday, accusing Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh, Sushil Kumar Shinde and Vijay Bahuguna for "cheating" Dalits.

Karnataka BJP spokesperson G. Madhusudhan said that he had no idea about the account being blocked and then unblocked by Twitter.

"What has happened? I don't know," said Madhusudhana.

Reacting to the drubbing BJP suffered in the Delhi Assembly polls, the party tweeted that there is no need to lose heart.

"Now is the time to go back to voters to win their hearts and minds. Let us plan for 2025 from today. We are with you," tweeted Karnataka BJP on Wednesday.

Though BJP congratulated Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for winning the Delhi polls, the party highlighted that it managed to increase it vote share by six per cent compared to 2015.
