The honorable minister also promised to arrange with state govt. authorities to form a welfare scheme to facilitate various govt facilities to NRI Kannadigas under the name of NORKA (Non residence Karnataka Affairs) with immediate effect.

Riyadh Mangalore flight already in the pipe line.

Ut khader sab if possible we need one small hindu temple inside the airport. it will be much better that we can pray and move towards our destination

Dear UTK
I request you to provide a prayer hall inside the airport. Due to lack of prayer hall many muslims are facing problems to pray in the airport. Prayer hall in the airport is the need of the hour. Please do the needful at the earliest.

Riyadh-Mangalore is not cost effective for airlines....that is why they don't go with this adventure...even if they initiate...cost for passengers will be more...

January 19,2020

Mysuru, Jan 19: Karnataka Rural Development and Panchyat Raj Minister K S Eshwarappa on Sunday claimed that Popular Front of India and Social Democratic Party of India have been indulging in anti-national activities.

Talking to media persons here, he said the government is mulling to ban and take action against PFI and its political arm SDPI.

It was recommended even during the previous government, but it was not taken seriously, he added.

He said that the BJP will ensure that all the MLAs who were instrumental in the party coming to power (the then-disqualified MLAs who joined BJP from Congress and JDS recently and won the bypoll subsequently) will not be let down and be given suitable posts in the government.
