Speaking to media persons here on Thursday, Mr Khader, who is the minister for food, civil supplies and consumer affairs, said that he will not hesitate to resign for Cauvery cause if the chief minister so demands.

Expressing frustration over the adverse verdict of Supreme Court in the water dispute, Mr Khader said that he will follow the directions of chief minister Siddaramaiah, who has decided to convene special legislature session for the issue.

Reacting sharply against the BJP that skipped an all-party meet held convened by the chief minister on Wednesday, Khader said, it shows their double standards.

"It is unfortunate that the BJP has skipped a crucial meeting convened by the chief minister. Political leaders are united forgetting their political differences, but the BJP has skipped that meeting. The chief minister has organized the meet for the people of Karnataka, especially the farmers," Khader said.

Reiterating the demand for intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Cauvery issue. “PM should direct Uma Bharati, Union minister for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, to prepare a report. The Union ministry should file an affidavit in the Supreme Court if the centre has concern towards Karnataka,” Khader demanded.

Lashing at BJP leaders of Karnataka, Khader said, "Those who held protest demanding inquiry against Siddaramiah's watch issue, need to raise voice against the injustice meted out to Karnataka in Cauvery issue."

Bengaluru, May 24: In an effort to protect passengers and staff from the risk of COVID-19 transmission, the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) has introduced a parking-to-boarding contactless journey at the airport.

With a greater emphasis on minimum touch and minimum exposure between passengers and airport personnel, BIAL aims to minimise all physical contact at the airport. The technology will continue to enable a seamless airport journey, with greater emphasis on health and safety.

"As the gateway to a new India, BLR Airport has a key role to play in helping passengers through this global health crisis by reassuring them that their safety is our top priority. We have introduced innovative contactless procedures to minimise exposure at the airport," said Hari Marar, MD and CEO, BIAL.

"These enhancements demonstrate our continued commitment to keep our passengers safe in this environment. We believe our new measures will boost confidence among passengers," continued Marar.

"BLR Airport is all geared up to welcome our passengers back and - working with various government departments - we're committed to offering them a safe experience by implementing the best-in-class standards, procedures and practices," Marar added.

Earlier, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that domestic flight operations will resume from May 25 noting that all airlines and airports were ready but it is not viable to keep the middle seat vacant as it will lead to hike in the ticket price and prescribed social distancing norms would still not be met.
