Mangaluru, Feb 29: BJP youth forum spokesperson Nupur Sharma has accused politicians of non-communal parties of supporting anti-nationals for raising voice against charging JNU students with sedition.

At a programme by the Rashtriya Jagriti Samiti at the Town Hall in the city on Monday she said that lecturers and students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University shouted slogans demanding separation of Kashmir. Politicians who support these traitors are also traitors, she said, adding, Afzal Guru was executed with the consent of the President of India.

“Difference of opinion is not sedition. The Congress party charged hundreds of people with sedition for long. Now, when JNU?student leader Kanhaiya Kumar and his followers are accused of sedition, AICC Vice President Rahul Gandhi is opposing it. He has also shied away from a discussion in the Parliament,” she said.

Out of panic, many political parties are opposing the nation and the ruling. Some media who are working for the Congress party, are misleading the entire nation, Nupur said.

She said that the incident at the JNU came to light as there is a new Central government and a new Vice Chancellor at the JNU. “Otherwise, the issue would have been buried. Where was the intolerance by the Congress when there were bomb blasts in the nation,” she questioned.

Asha, wife of soldier Nagesh, who died at Siachen, said her husband has sacrificed his life for the nation, and every person should fight for the nation.

VHP?leader M B?Puranik said that the tendency to disrespect the nation and carry out anti-national activities is increasing in all universities in the country. Brigadier I N Rai asked, if the police cannot arrest anti-national students at JNU, how could people like Dawood Ibrahim and Syed Hafiz be arrested.

A book on the controversy in JNU was released. Financial assistance was given to Asha. A rally preceded the function.

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.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
