September 23, 2016

Kasargod, Sep 23: Amidst ongoing efforts to sterilise street dogs under the initiative of the district panchayat, three persons, including a 3-year-old boy, were injured after they were attacked by a dog at Perla.

The incident occurred at 10 a.m. on Thursday, when the trio was standing inside a shop run by Prakash Pai.

The dog attacked Prakash Pai's son Srivishnu and two others, Mahesh, 30, a relative of Mr. Pai, and Anwar, 17.

The injured have been admitted to Badiyaddukka Community Health Centre.

The incidents comes at a time when the district panchayat has embarked on programme to address the street dog menace by taking assistance from an NGO by paying around Rs.1, 400 to sterilise each dog at the Animal Birth Control Centre attached to the veterinary hospital here.

The programme will be expanded to Manjeswaram and Kanhangad block panchayats.

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.
