Mangaluru, Dec 16: The number of ticket aspirants for Lok Sabha polls is growing in Dakshina Kannada. Days after former union minister B Janardhana Poojary expressed his desire to contest again, his young bete noire and MLC Ivan D’Souza has said that he was also an aspirant. 

Mr D’Souza, who is also an advocate, said, “I have already appealed to the High Command in this regard. I am hopeful of getting ticket.”

“As there are a large number of members from minority communities, including Christians in Dakshina Kannada district, I am hopeful that the High Command will issue ticket to me. If given a chance, I am hopeful of winning the election. I am committed to the decisions taken by the High Command,” he said.

To a query on Mr Poojary keen on contesting the Lok Sabha election, he said the former too has a right to seek ticket to contest.

The MLC said that the burning issue of sand crisis and fixing rate for sand will be discussed in the Council during the ongoing session in Belagavi on December 17.

Out of 25 identified sand bars, permissions were given for extracting sand from 12 sand bars in DK district. Those who were awarded permits for extracting the sand are selling the permits to others. The sand is not available for common man at cheaper rate. The non-availability of sand has affected the development works in the district, he added.

Out of 19 state universities in Karnataka, only Mangalore University has implemented sports policy. All the 18 other universities should also implement sports policy. The State government has given approval for the same, the MLC said.

If he got ticket from congress no doubt again a golden chance for a unpaad candidate to win the next election. Then South Kanaras future will be out of track for another 5 years period.

Madikeri, Apr 5: Following the novel Coronavirus and imposition of Lockdown in the country and departure of the migrant labour force to their hometowns, the harvest of Pepper and post-harvest process of Coffee have taken a hit in Kodagu region of Karnataka.

In the Coffee land, most of the workers at these estates are primarily from north Karnataka and neighbouring districts, including Periyapatna and Hunsur taluks in Mysuru District. Local workers are also sourced for the job as the harvest area is large.

The Kodagu district which already faced severe natural calamity during the last two years now added with the COVID-19 outbreak and the subsequent Lockdown, many workers have returned to their home districts, barring a few who have been working in the plantations for many years and reside in the estates themselves.

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’.

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Karnataka Minister BC Patil on Monday repeated his earlier statements that he will approach the Centre to bring a law to "shoot at sight" anyone who raises anti-India slogans.

"I am not going back on my statement as I have not said anything wrong. I had said that I will ask the central government to bring a law to shoot at sight those who shout slogans against India. Nowadays it has become a fashion for some youths to get popularity this way which spoils the country and patriotism," Patil told reporters here.

"There is nothing wrong in asking for a law. I have not said that I will myself shoot someone who shouts slogans against India. If the same thing happens in Pakistan, they will be beheaded. But we are not so brutal, we book a case and send them to judicial custody," he added.

Patil also said that there was no need for holding discussions over the amended Citizenship Act, but added that the ruling BJP will defend it if the opposition raises a stir in the state Assembly.

The budget session of the Karnataka Assembly began on Monday.
