Mangaluru Airport: Nalin Kumar discusses runway extension in LS
Mangaluru: Nalin Kumar Kateel, Dakshina Kannada MP, proposed the extension of the runway of Mangaluru airport during the zero hour of the Lok Sabha session today.
On June 30, an Air India Express flight arrived from Dubai slipped off the runway while landing at the Mangaluru Airport, however, a possible accident was averted narrowly. If the flight moved 20 ft further , a biggest tragedy would have happened. Total 158 passengers were died when Dubai-Mangaluru flight fell into a gorge in the same airport in 2010. In 1981, another flight reached the edge of a gorge. All such accidents occurred due to narrow runway. So, the Central Government should take suitable action to extend the runway and provide basic facilities. Moreover, slipping incident should be probed, he demanded.

Telangana to name roads after Ratan Tata, Donald Trump
Hyderabad (PTI): The Telangana government on Sunday said it has decided to name the upcoming greenfield radial road at the proposed RRR in honour of the late industrialist Ratan Tata.
In another proposal, a high-profile road along the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad will be named ‘Donald Trump Avenue’, the government said in a release.
The state government will write to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy to inform them of the plans.
Earlier this year, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, while addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) conclave in Delhi, had proposed naming key roads in Hyderabad after leading global corporations.
Additionally, a prominent stretch will be named ‘Google Street’ to recognise the global impact and contribution of Google and Google Maps.
The road along Google’s upcoming campus, set to be the company’s largest outside the US, in Hyderabad’s Financial District, will receive this recognition, the release said.
The proposals are part of the Telangana government’s initiative to position the state as a hub for innovation-driven development.
Microsoft and Wipro are also expected to receive recognition in the city’s topography, with a Wipro Junction and a Microsoft Road, in line with the chief minister’s vision, the release added.
The state government is considering dedicating additional roads in honour of distinguished individuals and corporations.
