Udupi, Mar 14: After Congress decided to sacrifice Udupi–Chikkamagaluru constituency to Janata Dal (Secular) as per seat sharing pact, at least four aspirants in the regional party have started lobbying hard for the ticket.

According to Vasudeva Rao, working president, JD(S) district unit, three names were in contention in the party: S L Dharme Gowda, Deputy Chairman of Legislative Council, S L Bhoje Gowda, MLC, and Y S V Datta, former MLA. “The party will decide among these three leaders. There is also a fourth name in contention. But we cannot reveal it now. The party will decide on the candidate in a couple of days,” he said.

Meanwhile, Yogish Shetty, president, Udupi district unit of JD(S), said he too was in the running for the party ticket. “But I will decide whatever is the high command’s decision,” he said.

Meanwhile, K Jayaprakash Hegde, BJP leader, said that he was an aspirant for the BJP ticket from Udupi – Chikkamagalaru parliamentary seat. The BJP was likely to decide on the candidate for the seat on March 15 or 16, he said.

Mr. Hegde said that he was not going to join the JD(S) as was being reported.

“I am in the BJP. I should not think like that (to join the JD-S). No one from the JD(S) has approached me either. I will not join the JD(S) even if I am not given the BJP ticket,” he said.

Senior BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje, is the sitting BJP MP for Udupi-Chikkamagaluru parliamentary seat.

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’.
