Mangaluru, Apr 26: Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has finally lifted water rationing and resumed daily water supply.

Kavita Sanil, Mayor of MCC, told media persons here on Wednesday that the water level at the Thumbe vented dam supplying drinking water to the city is expected to reach the maximum level of 5 m on Thursday morning. The level stood at 4.22 m on Wednesday.

She said that the water level at the vented dam of AMR Hydro Power Project Ltd. at Shambhoor on the upstream of Thumbe stood at 4.49 m against the maximum level of 6.25 m on Wednesday.

Water storage in both the dams would be enough for daily supply beyond May-end. Hence, the civic body would not deprive the people of the city daily water. In case if it did not rain beyond May, the corporation would re-consider its decision and might revert to rationing again till it rained and inflow picked up in the Netravathi.

The Mayor thanked the people of the city for cooperating with the civic body during the rationing period.

December 15,2025

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.
