Regional culture attacked by lies: Dalit thinker

September 30, 2011

Udupi, September 30: Regional culture has been attacked with lies and wrong propagations, while seeds of infighting have been sown between ignored and down trodden communities, lamented Kotiganahalli Ramaiaha, a Dalit thinker from Kolar.

He was delivering a lecture on 'Ambedkar and Regional Culture' at a programme organised under the joint auspices of Dr BR Ambedkar Study Centre of Mangalore University and Milagres College, Kallianpur, here on Thursday

He recalled that when Dr Ambedkar proposed the Sharada Code Bill, which ensures property right, freedom and protection for women, in the parliament, organisations like Hindu Mahasabha had opposed it and created public opinion against the Bill. As a result, the then Union Government led by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru could not pass the Bill.

Prof Neri Carnelio, principal of the College presided over the function. Prof Domanik, Department of Kannada, Bangalore University was present on the occasion. Prof Cyril Mathias, Convener of the programme, welcomed the gathering.

Mangaluru, Dec 2: Mangaluru International Airport responded to a medical emergency late on Monday night. Air India Express flight IX 522, travelling from Riyadh to Thiruvananthapuram, was diverted to Mangaluru Airport after a passenger in his late 30s experienced a medical emergency on board.

The Airport’s Operations Control Centre received an alert regarding the passenger’s health condition. The airport activated its emergency response protocol, mobilising the airport medical team and coordinating with stakeholders including CISF, immigration, and customs.

Upon landing, airport medical personnel attended to the passenger, assessed his condition, and arranged to shift him to a local tertiary-care hospital for further treatment. The passenger’s relatives accompanied the passenger, who incidentally received necessary medical care on board, which helped stabilise the situation.

Following the handling of the emergency, the flight departed for Thiruvananthapuram at 2:05 am on Tuesday.

"We appreciate the cooperation of all parties involved, and this incident reaffirms our ongoing commitment to prioritising passenger safety and readiness to respond to unforeseen emergencies with professionalism and care," the Airport spokesperson said.
