Mangalore, March 7: Container traffic at NMPT got a shot in the arm when the first consignment of 40 feet container with Garments/Linen exported through New Mangalore Port on Monday, March 7, in the container vessel M.V. OEL TRUST.

The consignment of 4237 packets of cotton processed garments/linen produced at the Hassan SEZ by M/s Himatsingka Seida Ltd. has been exported to USA.

This is for the first time garments are handled at the Port. The Mainline operators are M/s CMA CGM and the handling agents M/s Cargo links. The total transit time will be 28 days which is comparable in terms of ocean freight, transit time and road freight to the neighbouring ports.

P Tamilvanan, Chairman, has attributed the handling of this new cargo, hitherto moving through neighbouring ports, to the pro-active marketing efforts made by the Port at various locations of the hinterland during the last few years coupled with the infrastructure additions made for the smooth handling of containers. Through these trade meets, the Port could convince the exporters/exporters from the hinterland that New Mangalore Port – the Gateway Port of Karnataka could handle any type of cargo at economical rates with less transit time and reliability. He has added that the above garment unit, which is a 100% export oriented one, is expected to move their entire consignment of export to the tune of 25 TEUs per month through New Mangalore Port.

The Port could also attract another new cargo like building materials which started importing from gulf countries. The container traffic at the Port has crossed 36000 TEUs during the current year (as on date) with a growth rate of 27%.

Bengaluru, Apr 17: The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Thursday served a show cause notice to a Kannada news channel for broadcasting a programme in which it purportedly said that the Centre would 'air drop money' to the poor, owing to the COVID-19 lockdown.

The notice said that the channel was "spreading false information, creating panic and social unrest.

" The channel had allegedly aired a show titled, "Helicopter Money" on Wednesday which claimed that the Centre would drop money from helicopters during the lockdown period.

A Twitter user took a serious note of it and complained to the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar.

The fact check team of the Press Information Bureau, under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, refuted the claim.

In its notice to the channel, PIB said, "You are hereby directed to show cause why your channel should not be taken out of air immediately. You are instructed to send your reply in this regard within 10 days of receipt of this notice."

Reacting to the notice, the management of the news channels said, "A programme which has been seen in bits and pieces and those who have not even seen the programme appears to have complained. Notice will be replied accordingly."
