Mangaluru, Aug 9: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who is known for using social media to address the concerns of the people, has come forward to help a newly wedded Muslim couple facing a forced separation during their scheduled honeymoon trip.

Faizan Patel, a photographer hailing from Mangaluru and settled in Delhi, had planned his honeymoon trip to Europe. He got the shock of his life when he learnt that his wife Sana's passport is missing.

However, instead of cancelling the trip, Mr Patel decided to go alone on honeymoon. After boarding an international flight on Monday, he clicked a picture of him seated on a plane and his wife's photo being tucked to the seat next to him.

The 30-year-old man then tweeted the picture tagging Sushma Swaraj. He did not even request for her help directly. To his utter surprise, the minister not only responded to his tweet but also assured him that his wife would be with him on the next seat.

And that was not just a jumla'. The minister immediately took necessary steps to provide Sana a duplicate passport within a day. The lucky girl is likely to board a Europe bound flight tomorrow.

An alumnus of St Aloysius College, Mangaluru, Faizan Patel is now a successful wedding photographer in Delhi. He fell in love with Delhi girl Sana after meeting her in Manipal Institute of Communication. The marriage took place on December 16, 2015. Thanks to his busy schedule, the couple had postponed their honeymoon trip to this August.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.
