Mangaluru, Jun 6: Karnataka’s Minister for food, civil supplies and consumer affairs U T Khader has urged the BJP leaders to ask the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government of India to ban Popular Front of India instead of staging protests and demanding the Congress government of Karnataka to ban the outfit.

Speaking to media persons here, the Congress leader said the onus of banning organisations like PFI is on the central government since such groups operate from multiple states including Karnataka, Kerala, Goa, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The state will also keep tabs on such organizations, said the minister in a query as to whether the state government will ban PFI and other organizations.

"All organizations that are linked to criminal activities should be banned. However, action should be taken by the central government since such organizations operate not only from Karnataka, but also from other states. Hence, the Centre should take a stand in this regard. In the meantime, the state government also will have to consider the matter seriously," Khader said.

If we need to tell everyting directly to central govt, then why we elected you people. You (Congis) are responsible for karnataka and you should manage karnataka matters

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.
