Tumakuru, Mar 13: The security guard of the Vidyavaridhi International School, Huliyar, in Tumakuru district, who was battling for life in the ICU of the district hospital since Thursday morning, failed to respond to treatment and died on Sunday morning.

“On Sunday morning, at around 10.45 am, the duty doctor examined Ramesh. The doctor did not find any abnormalities and advised the paramedic staff to administer the regular medicine. Minutes later, we found something amiss and called the doctors. The doctors examined Ramesh and declared him dead,” a nurse said.

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.
