Bengaluru, Mar 6: Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjuna Kharge today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had little to offer to people of Karnataka and his speech in Kalaburgi reflected on his uncertainty over BJP coming back to power post the Lok Sabha elections later this year.

Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, he said Mr Modi did not fear over his adversaries, but had conceded that the BJP was not sure of defeating him in Kalaburagi segment. ‘’Any one from the BJP could have been pitted against the Congress candidate in Kalaburagi, but this party roped in a defector and projecting such a person against me,’’ he charged.

Mr Kharge questioned how could the Prime Minister launch programmes in Kalaburagi.

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.
