Mangaluru, Apr 19: Vision - 2015, an arts and craft exhibition by students of Saanidhya Residential School and Training Centre for Mentally Challenged, Mangaluru, was inaugurated as part of Saanidhya Utsav, organised by Shree Ganesha Seva Trust For Exceptional Persons at Kadri Park in the city on Saturday.

Speaking after inaugurating the exhibition, Commissioner of Police, Mangaluru City S Murugan said that institutions for differently-abled children should come up in all cities and create awareness on such children among people.

The general awareness about institutions for differently-abled is less since such institutions are fewer even in metropolitan cities. It is even lesser about those who are employed in such institutions, he said, appreciating the efforts of schools like Saanidhya towards mentally-challenged children.

He said that although most differently-abled children were capable enough, the world did not view them as capable persons. This is a wrong notion. No person is an incapable person as every individual is capable of different things, he told the gathering, appreciating the handicrafts made by the children.

Managing Trustee of Shree Somanatheshwara Temple, Permude P Bhujanga Shetty also spoke on the occasion and lauded the efforts of the school in training the differently-abled children.

Several handicrafts such as ornamental pieces depicting the Yakshagana headgear, colourful handmade flowers and painted vases, pen stands, fancy jewellery items, knitted table mats, painted greeting cards, framed paintings, soft toys and several other items made by the children studying in Saanidhya residential school were on display in the exhibition.

The jewellery items were fast-selling pieces while the flowers and brightly-coloured flower vases were eye-catchers among families and those who frequent the park for evening walks.

Administrator of Saanidhya Residential School Vasanth Kumar Shetty welcomed the gathering. President of Shree Ganesha Seva Trust Mahabala Marla proposed a vote of thanks.

Bengaluru, Mar 22: An FIR has been registered against BJP MP Tejasvi Surya over a provocative hate post on social media, Election Commission officials said on Friday.

The move comes after a complaint filed by officials of the poll body and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) that the Bengaluru South MP, who is also the President of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, had in a post apparently targeted a minority and spread enmity between two communities.

He also made a similar post on March 19 on X and YouTube which went viral. He has 1.3 million followers on X, thereby influencing the voters and disturbing the communal harmony between the communities, it further alleged.

Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered at Halasuru Gate police station on March 20 under sections 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony), 295 A (Deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) of the Indian Penal Code and the Representation of the People Act, the officials said.

Mangaluru: A man from Dakshina Kannada was duped of Rs 2.5 lakh after he was promised a Poland visa.

In a complaint, a resident of Belthangady, stated that the accused, Manoj, had promised a job for his son in Poland. 

Between May 22 of last year and March 19, he handed over Rs 2.2 lakh in various phases, citing different reasons.

However, since the accused failed to provide a visa or return the money, a case was registered at the Dharmasthala police station under IPC sections 417 and 420.

Mangaluru: The Mangalore International Airport (MIA) will connect to a new domestic destination with the introduction of a non-stop flight to Tiruchirappalli International Airport in Tamil Nadu. 

The non-stop service, once-a-week, will operate on Wednesday (from TIA) and Thursday (from MIA), starting April 3. Air India Express will operate the flight.

The flight is expected to help those taking up a pilgrimage to Vailankani shrine.

Sources from the AIE said that the airline carrier decided to fly non-stop between the two southern Indian cities as a flight to Jeddah, which will start from April 3, arrives from Tiruchirappalli International Airport. 

“It is a ferry or positional flight from TIA to MIA. Instead of flying empty, the management has decided to run it as a commercial flight. This will help both passengers and the airline. The airline will deploy Boeing 737-800 aircraft with a 186-seater all-economy configuration on this route. 

The same flight, after landing in MIA, will further fly to Jeddah,” a source said. 

The flight IX 1498 will depart every Thursday at 5am from MIA to TIA. The TIA-MIA flight IX 1499 departs at 12.50pm. It is a one-hour nonstop flight. The same flights will also operate nonstop between Jeddah and MIA. 

The non-stop flight IX 499 will depart MIA at 2.50pm and reach King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah at 6.25pm. The IX498, will depart from Jeddah at 7.25pm and reach MIA early at 3.40am.
