Following the incident, the girl had lodged a complaint with jurisdictional Pandeshwar police station against the Bajrang Dal activist.

According to sources that girl, who is also from Udupi, had come to the mall along with Harshad (21). When a Bajrang Dal activist came to know that the two belong to different religion, he informed his friends.

Hmm..
The news is about -Moral policing, Sanghis here are talking about Hijab. Very Typical :-P They should ask Sita who practiced Hijab.

- If the Boy and Girl are just friends, The Muslim Boy has no business to talk to a girl. He knows it is Haram
- If the Boy and Girl had really something as necessity, they should talk and finish whatever business they had. The Boy should know that too.

In Any case the Sanghis have no right to do moral policing. But Who cares, not even the police would intervene. I mean this is not the first incident, no action has been taken against these thugs before. why cry about it now?

Dear Yogish tell our hindu girls to wear hijab/ Burkha instead of asking others remove. Burkha will protect the lady from showing her body to others.

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.
