Govt not ready to withdraw cases against Muthalik: CM

January 11, 2016

Bengaluru, Jan 11: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has made it clear that the state government will not drop criminal cases against Sri Rama Sene chief Pramod Muthalik.

The clarification comes in the backdrop of reports that the State government had sought legal opinion on a proposal to withdraw 13 hate speech cases against Mr Muthalik.

“We are not withdrawing any cases against Muthalik. It is all you (media) that created the news. We won’t withdraw any cases registered against him,” the CM told media persons in Raichur.

Home Minister too had maintained that the State was firm on its stand on cases against Mr. Muthalik.

It may be recalled that AB Ibrahim, the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada district had written to the State government, stating that any such move would “demoralise the police force”.

Instead, the Deputy Commissioner wanted the State government to ensure that the cases were pursued thoroughly and brought to their logical conclusion.

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
