Manjunath .... True , the associates of arrested 11 sanghi people might have done this job for MONEY.... or may be to make Insurance claim .... No sane man will indulge in such activities .... Once they are caught ( who ever may be ) , the police should use AK 47 on them ...

No the rss back bjp goons will start communal tension all over karnataka
as a vote bank game.
Since the training is from well planned MOSSAD and his associated ISIS group, people of karnataka have to take more attention and care on their lives.

Hope all will unite to and erase these groups and their leader from the route else all have to face worst than Yugoslavia Syria.

God Save Karnataka.

looks like ISI linked VHP or paki FLAg hosters's SRIRAMSENA terrors are inked in this, to gain sympathy from people in coming election !

looks like a islamic state attack looking at modus of operandi

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.
