Mangaluru, Aug 28: Four cattle were killed and few more injured when a truck in which they were being transported illegally met with an accident near Kalladka in Bantwal taluk early on Sunday morning.

According to sources, the truck fell on its side while the driver was negotiating a curve at Amtur-Karingana Cross. Over speed is said to be the reason for the mishap.

The driver fled the scene leaving behind the damaged vehicle and cattle soon after the accident. It is not yet known whether the cattle-laden truck was being chased by gau rakshaks when the incident took place.

There were a total of 15 cattle on board the truck. Four among them were killed during the mishap and few more cattle suffered injuries.

Bantwal town police have registered a case and trying to find out who was transporting the cattle. This is a case of illegal transportation, they said.

The incident occurred nearly two weeks after a BJP worker was beaten to death by a group of gau rakshaks belonging to Hindutva groups while he was illegally transporting cattle in Udupi.

Mangaluru’s public transport revolution: 100 new govt electric buses to end private ‘trip-cutting’

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

• Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

• State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

• Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
