Flights between Mangaluru-Bengaluru reorganized; Details here
Mangaluru: The coastal city of Mangaluru is set to enjoy increased air connectivity with the capital city, Bengaluru, as an additional daily flight will be introduced on weekdays and an extra flight on Saturdays starting from September 7th.
This expansion will raise the number of daily flights from Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) to Bengaluru to five during weekdays and Sundays, with an additional flight on Saturdays. IndiGo, an Indian airline, will operate these additional flights until October 28th.
Presently, IndiGo operates four daily flights between the two cities. Commencing from September 7th, IndiGo will reintroduce flight 6E 6858, adding a fifth daily flight on the Bengaluru-Mangaluru route. This flight will arrive in Mangaluru at 8.35 am and depart for Bengaluru as flight 6E 5347 at 9.10 am. This new flight complements the existing flights on this route: one departing for Patna via Bengaluru at 6.50 am (6E0255), another to Kolkata via Bengaluru at 11.35 am (6E0172), and direct flights to Bengaluru at 4.25 pm and 9.50 pm (6E0388/6E6859), respectively.
The introduction of a sixth flight to Bengaluru on Saturdays is a result of IndiGo's rescheduling of the days and times for its Mangaluru-Pune flight, which operates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays, and now Saturdays. Flight 6E 294 arrives in Mangaluru at 5.50 pm and departs for Pune as flight 6E 298 at 6.35 pm on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. On Saturdays, flight 6E359 arrives in Mangaluru from Bengaluru at 5.50 pm and subsequently departs for Pune as flight 6E 298 at 6.35 pm.
These changes in flight schedules on the Mangaluru-Bengaluru and Mangaluru-Pune routes will increase daily international and domestic flight movements from 38 to 40 on Monday to Friday and from 40 to 42 on Saturdays and Sundays. The airport spokesperson also mentioned that the airport is in discussions with other airlines to initiate flights to MIA. These new flights are expected to commence as part of the winter schedule starting on October 29th.

MUDA case: Karnataka HC adjourns hearing till Dec 10
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday adjourned till December 10 the hearing on the plea seeking transfer of the investigation into the MUDA site allotment scam to the CBI. The plea was filed by activist Snehamayi Krishna doubting the credibility of Lokayukta investigation into the matter.
The petitioner told PTI that he approached the HC saying he has no faith in the Lokayukta police and hence the case should be handed over to the CBI.
In the MUDA case, it is alleged that compensatory sites were allotted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife in an upmarket area in Mysuru, which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been "acquired" by the MUDA.
The MUDA had allotted plots to Parvathi under a 50:50 ratio scheme in lieu of 3.16 acres of her land, where it developed a residential layout.
Under the controversial scheme, MUDA allotted 50 per cent of developed land to the land losers in lieu of undeveloped land acquired from them for forming residential layouts. It is alleged that Parvathi had no legal title over this 3.16 acres of land at survey number 464 of Kasare village, Kasaba hobli of Mysuru taluk.
The Karnataka Lokayukta police and the Enforcement Directorate have launched an investigation into the 'scam'.
The CM has denied any wrongdoing in the alleged scam.
