Mangalore, November 4: Sri Ram Sene Chief Pramod Muthalik urged the Chikmagalur district administration to make arrangement for the paduka darshana of Datta at Datta peeta during Datta Mala Abhiyana, which will be held from Novermber 8 to 13.

Addressing a press meet here on Friday, he said that the preparations are on for the Datta Mala Abhiyana throughout the state. “I have written to the Chikmagalur Deputy Commissioner seeking permission for the Paduke darshana. However, I did not get any reply from the authorities so far. About 5,000 devotees along with 25 sages will take part in the Datta Mala Abhiyana. The Shobhayathra of the Abhiyana will be held on November 13,” he said.

In view of Bakrid, many have started illegal transportation of cows for slaughtering on the day of Bakrid. Hence, the police and the State government should initiate action against the illegal transportors and should not give scope for the slaughtering of the cows, he demanded.

Muthalik said that Sri Rama Sene has no connection with the attack on St Alphonsa Church at Kankanady on Thursday night.

State convenor Prasad Attavar said the attack on the church was an attempt to tarnish the image of Sri Rama Sene.

“The Sene was not involved in any attack on the church or masjid. The police should probe into the attack on church in Mangalore,” he said.

To a query on Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti members resorting to pelting of stones and observing black day to mark Kannada Rajyotsava, he said being in Karnataka, such reactions and retaliations are wrong.

To another query on plebiscite at Kashmir, Muthalik said that Kashmir is an integral part of India. One inch of the land from Kashmir will not be given away to others. If any government goes ahead with according autonomous status and pelbiscite issue, then Sri Rama Sene will raise its voice against any such move.

Though the press conference was scheduled to be held at Maya International in Balmatta, the venue was shifted to Pathumudi Soudha and later to a house.

As the police had asked the organisers not to hold the press meet by Muthalik in Mangalore, the venue was shifted, said State convenor Prasad Attavar. However, the police too took part in the press meet in civil dress.

As Muthalik had not spoken anything controversial or on the church attack, the police did not arrest him.

Mangaluru, Dec 2: Mangaluru International Airport responded to a medical emergency late on Monday night. Air India Express flight IX 522, travelling from Riyadh to Thiruvananthapuram, was diverted to Mangaluru Airport after a passenger in his late 30s experienced a medical emergency on board.

The Airport’s Operations Control Centre received an alert regarding the passenger’s health condition. The airport activated its emergency response protocol, mobilising the airport medical team and coordinating with stakeholders including CISF, immigration, and customs. 

Upon landing, airport medical personnel attended to the passenger, assessed his condition, and arranged to shift him to a local tertiary-care hospital for further treatment. The passenger’s relatives accompanied the passenger, who incidentally received necessary medical care on board, which helped stabilise the situation.

Following the handling of the emergency, the flight departed for Thiruvananthapuram at 2:05 am on Tuesday.

"We appreciate the cooperation of all parties involved, and this incident reaffirms our ongoing commitment to prioritising passenger safety and readiness to respond to unforeseen emergencies with professionalism and care," the Airport spokesperson said.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.

Mangaluru, Nov 28: Karnataka Health Minister and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Friday handed over Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the severe distress faced by farmers due to crashing crop prices.

PM Modi arrived at the Mangaluru International Airport en route to Udupi, where Gundu Rao welcomed him and submitted the letter. The chief minister’s message stressed that farmers are suffering heavy losses because maize and green gram are being bought far below the Minimum Support Price (MSP). The state urged the Centre to immediately begin procurement at MSP.

According to the letter, Karnataka has a bumper harvest this year—over 54.74 lakh metric tons of maize and 1.98 lakh metric tons of green gram—yet farmers are unable to secure fair prices. Against the MSP of ₹2,400/MT for maize and ₹8,768/MT for green gram, market rates have plunged to ₹1,600–₹1,800 and ₹5,400 respectively.

The chief minister has requested the Centre to:

• Direct NAFED, FCI and NCCF to start MSP procurement immediately.
• Ensure ethanol units purchase maize directly from farmers or FPOs.
• Increase Karnataka’s ethanol allocation, citing high production capacity.
• Stop maize imports, which have depressed domestic prices.
• Relax quality norms for green gram, allowing up to 10% discoloration due to rains.

The letter stresses that MSP is crucial for farmer dignity and income stability and calls for swift central intervention to prevent a deepening crisis.
