Newsroom, Apr 30: As the Karnataka Assembly elections draw closer, the incumbent Congress has a clear edge over the other parties in the State, said a fresh pre-poll survey by C-Fore.

No incumbent has retained power in elections since 1985, and if the Congress is able to do so, it will be creating history of sorts. The C-Fore had released its pre-poll survey report over a month ago and predicted that Congress will get 126 seats, BJP will get 70 seats and JDS will win 27 seats.

According to the fresh survey report released today, the Congress will win 118 to 128 seats, the BJP will secure 63 to 73 constituencies and the JD-S will get 29 to 36 seats while for the others it is 2 to 7.

The fresh pre-poll survey was conducted by the C-Fore in poll-bound between April 20 and 30, 2018. Systematic random sampling methodology was used in selecting respondents for the survey. In all 6247 voters were interviewed from 61 assembly constituencies covering all regions using a structured questionnaire.

Stranded, hungry, and helpless: Last-minute cancellation of Dammam flight sparks chaos at Mangaluru Airport

News Network

November 24,2025

Mangaluru, Nov 24: The original departure time of 11.10 pm was a distant memory for scores of Dammam-bound passengers at Mangaluru International Airport last Friday night, as their Air India Express flight was abruptly cancelled at the eleventh hour, sparking hours of frustration and chaos.

The flight, IX 885, initially scheduled to depart at 11.10 pm on November 22, was subject to two back-to-back reschedules—first pushed to 11.45 pm and then significantly postponed to 1.40 am—before the final, crushing announcement of cancellation was made. For the travellers, many of whom are likely expatriate workers with tight schedules, the last-minute change marked the beginning of a distressing ordeal.

"There was no drinking water, no food, and absolutely no proper guidance. We were left stranded like refugees," complained a stranded passenger.

According to multiple passenger accounts, the airline's ground staff failed to provide adequate support or essential amenities following the cancellation. Complaints poured in about the total absence of drinking water, food provisions, and any reliable guidance from the carrier's representatives. Travellers alleged they were left stranded for a considerable period, with no immediate arrangements or clear communication offered regarding accommodation or alternative travel to send them back home.

The incident has highlighted serious concerns over the carrier's contingency planning and customer service protocols during flight disruptions at one of India's key international gateways. The airline is yet to issue a comprehensive statement addressing the alleged lapse in passenger care.
