April 23, 2016

Manaluru, Apr 23: Repeated incidents of immoral policing are a major hurdle in the growth of tourism sector in Dakshina Kannada district, according to Deputy Commissioner AB Ibrahim.

He was delivering a lecture on Local governance and sustainable development of Dakshina Kannada' at the National Institute of Technology – Karnataka (NIT-K) at Surathkal on Friday.

Calling upon the people in Dakshina Kannada to change their attitude and mindset, Mr Ibrahim said that said that groups and individuals who indulged in “immoral policing” in the district should be taken head on.

“If men and women from different religions cannot move together leisurely in the city and at beaches and tourist places, then how can we promote tourism here,” asked the DC.

Mr. Ibrahim said that major industries were suited for tier-II cities as software companies focus on metropolitan cities. But in tier-II cities, major industries face opposition from people in matters related to environmental issues.

Mangaluru’s public transport revolution: 100 new govt electric buses to end private ‘trip-cutting’

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

• Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

• State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

• Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
