Boycott Muslims economically; keep swords at houses: Muthalik to Hindus

Mangaluru, Oct 9: Sri Ram Sena chief Pramod Muthalik has urged Hindus to keep swords in their houses for self-protection and to economically boycott Muslims.

Delivering a speech during the Mathru Pooja programme near Kadri Temple in Mangaluru on Sunday he said that Hindus should not hesitate to stock weapons at homes and to worship them during the ‘Ayudha Pooja’.

He said: “Muslims are opposing the construction of Rama Mandir at Ayodhya. They are also opposing the anti-cow slaughter bill. They don’t want to sing Vande Mataram. Until they stop opposing these, Hindus should stop economic activities with them.”

The hardline Hindutva leader said that for all mothers, Indian warrior king Shivaji's mother Jijabai should be an inspiration as she brought him up with stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. "These are bad times and we need to protect ourselves from atrocities, terrorism and corruption," he said.

He said post-Independence, 7 lakh Hindus were driven out of Kashmir. "In Kerala, the population of Hindus has fallen below 50%. Though Muslims have been given permission to build mosques all over the country, it's unfortunate we cannot build the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya," he said.

Giving advices to Hindus, he said: “We need to restrict and check use of mobiles by youths. We need celebrations which start with lighting of lamps and not Father's Day, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day which start with lighting the candle and blowing it out later,'' he said.

Those who alwz call U to EVIL. Then there is alwz a pint of EVIL worship from behind as Devils like to see the bloodshed and to make mockery of the ONE (TRUE) God Worshipers...  ALLAH ask the believer to never fear the creation and the Muslims are not in FEAR of such devilish plan. Quran says they plan and ALLAH plans.. and ALLAH is the best of Planners... We Muslims are not a least worried about such threat.. We have ALLAH with us... What about YOU those who fall trap to such evil chamchas.. who alwz play in your minds... They find it easy to play with your mind is just cos U NEVER try to KNOW who IS the LORD who created U ME and all that exists. Think before they destroy you and your whole Khandan.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.

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.
