Manish Karbekar to replace Seemant as Mangalore police chief?

September 14, 2012

Mangalore, September 14: Manish Karbekar has been transferred to Mangalore and would replace Seemant Kumar Singh as the city police Commissioner, it is learnt.

Pratap Reddy, IGP, Western Range, said that he has information that Mr. Karbekar who is currently DIG (civil rights enforcement), Bangalore, has been transferred. But no written communication has been received yet, he said.

It is said that Mr. Singh's transfer was passed when he had left for Hyderabad for training. He had taken off his nameplate in the office while setting off to Hyderabad. He had therefore been informed of his transfer even before he left for training.

Mr. Singh, who reportedly aspired to work with the CBI, was constantly paying visits to Bangalore. When the homestay attack took place in Mangalore, he been to Bangalore with regard to his transfer work. But immediate transfer post-attacks was not advisable and hence the transfer was withheld by the Department for a while.

But now, it is learnt that Mr. Singh will obtain his transfer orders from the place of his training itself.

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.
