February 3, 2016

Mangaluru, Feb 3: Five persons have been arrested in connection with a clash that broke out between two groups in Janata Colony at Katipalla here on Monday night.

The clash broke out following a heated exchange of words between neighbours after a goat from one family ate wheat that was left to dry in the house of the other on Friday. The dispute flared up on Monday after the family members were joined by a few more persons. There was an exchange of blows resulting in injury to nine persons. The injured were admitted to two different hospitals.

The Surathkal police have registered two cases and arrested five persons belonging to two different communities. The police have launched a search for a few more persons.

The Hindu Jagaran Vedike members on Tuesday night staged a demonstration in front of the Surathkal police station for invoking harsh sections of the Indian Penal Code against those belonging to a particular community. The vedike members said that they will continue with their protest in front of the police station on Wednesday too.

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.
