Act against moral policing to prevent communal violence'

May 12, 2012

Kasargod, May 12: Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Ramesh Chennithala has asked the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) to take necessary steps to check the activities of miscreants in the guise of so called 'moral policing' so as to prevent recurring communal violence in certain parts of the State.

The KPCC views with all seriousness the danger posed by those indulging in so-called “moral policing” and increasing intervention of hired gangsters, said Mr. Chennithala, who is on 'Sneha Sandesha Yatra', a five-day march to create awareness of the need to maintain communal harmony in the wake of recent incidents triggering tension in the district.

Communal tension instigated by both the majority and minority communities posed danger and promoting such designs would pave the way to weaken values in secular society. All secular forces should stand united to ward off threats posed by vested interests, he said at a press conference before commencing his march from Uppala to Kasaragod.

On the stand-off between Kerala Congress (B) leaders R. Balakrishna Pillai and K.B. Ganesh Kumar, the KPCC chief said the Congress was prepared to hold fresh talks with the leaders to resolve their differences.

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.
