Mangaluru, Dec 19: Sri Rajasekharananda Swami, the chief pontiff of Vajradehi Mutt in Gurupura here, had recently set a deadline for Mangaluru police to bring back an ‘eloped’ bride, has warned of intense protests across Dakshina Kannada districts.

Priyanka (25), a resident of Dharegudde village on the outskirts of the city, has reportedly eloped with her boyfriend Hyder. Her family had made all preparations for her wedding on December 11. However, she left home on December 9.

A few days ago, the family received a letter in the name of Priyanka. The letter stated that she was happy with one Hyder, and insisted that they stop searching for her. The letter further read that the couple will soon appear before the court and that Priyanka has written letters to the DC, the SP and Moodbidri police station.

However, Priyanka’s mother has cast aspersions over the letter, saying the handwriting did not match with that of her daughter. She claimed that Priyanaka has taken 10 sovereigns of gold, passport and Aadhaar card among other items with her.

Accompanied by a group of saffron activists, the seer visited Priyanka's house on Sunday and said that police must produce her before the family by December 22. He expressed dissatisfaction over the police department for its "slow pace" of investigation.

The seer went on to accused organisations like Popular Front of India of trapping and kidnapping Priyanka and forcing her to be with a Muslim youth named Priyanka. “The case should be investigated thoroughly,” he said.

Meanwhile, Bajrang Dal activists have called the case another ‘love jihad’. They alleged that the police were investigating the case for the heck of it. They said though adequate information was provided to them about Hyder, they visited his house only once.

This seer i think has no job but to give illogic/false/unrealistic/anti social/anti humanity / anti communal statemetns.  He does not know what he is saying.  Instead of preaching good thing to public he is diverting them for voilence and hatred.  this is not good dear Seer.

It is really pains to any parent or any reasonable person whenever such incident takes place.

 

First of all it  is worth thinking to prevent it rather than  give a chance to happen and repent  later.

It happens mostly with most of the non-Muslims and also happens seldom with Muslims.

 

Here is a point to think deeply, Social Liberalism with Hindus and other communities is much more than their fellow muslim counterparts.

This is the point where our all Hindu and other brethern to think it seriously. Once you allow free mingling in mixed genders,  you can not rule out the possibility of such mishaps, there is a risky chance to happen certaily. Grow your girls in such atmosphere with their own female society whre they freely mingle with ladies than sending them to work and study and mingle in mixed gender environment.

If you practice it 90% of such mishaps can be eliminated. Send them to womens college, if you dont have, we need to create it. Allow them to work with only women.

It is difficult but not impossible.

May God help to protect all our women, men and everyone.

 

Your brotherly thinker

PFI converting poor Hindus girls.. That exposed with video proof by IndiaToday. Nobody opposed that because it revealed by PFI leaders only. No national media made big issue that.

 

 

If any of Hindu org revealed something like that then all Muslim org + national media will give full coverage for atleast one month

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.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.
