Central office okays Mangaluru division proposal
Mangaluru, December 4: Fares of Volvo, Rajahamsa, AC, Non AC and all buses of the KSRTC would come down by 10 per cent with immediate effect.
The Corporation has agreed the proposal submitted by the Mangaluru Divisional office to compete the private bus services in the district. But the decision would be applied to the entire state from December 5.
During peak days- from December 21 to January 15, the exiting fare would continue. But after January 16, the fare would be slashed. Normally, every year, the KSRTC bus fares would be reduced on certain days from January 15. During exams, the number of passengers would be less. But this time, the KSRTC has reduced the fare well in advance.

Former minister C M Ibrahim announces to launch new regional party for Karnataka
Kalaburagi: Two years after being expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), former minister C.M. Ibrahim has announced that he will launch a new regional political party in Karnataka on January 24, reported Deccan Herald.
Speaking at a meeting organised by the Nava Karnataka Nirmana Andolana in Kalaburagi on Sunday, Ibrahim confirmed the birth of the new party.
The 77-year-old politician stated he would soon be meeting with other like-minded individuals to choose a symbol for the party.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
