Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka government's ambitious "Knowledge Health Innovation Research-City" (KHIR-City) project, touted as the first of its kind in the country, is set to be launched on September 26.

The Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is slated to give the green signal for the works in the first phase of the project at a ceremony in 'Vidhana Soudha', official sources said.

The sources said the project would be established on 2,000 acres, with the first phase being developed on 500 acres. "The project with an estimated investment of over Rs 40,000 crore is expected to generate around one lakh jobs -- both direct and indirect," an official said.

KHIR-City draws inspiration from global innovation hubs such as Singapore's Biopolis, and Research Triangle Park in the US, the sources said.

Elements from Bengaluru's Electronics City will also be incorporated into the project, located between Doddaballapura and Dobaspet, about 50 km from Kempegowda International Airport.

The KHIR-City is expected to make a significant contribution to the state's economy and boost exports, the official said, adding, it will be home to world-class universities, hospitals, innovative industries, and research institutions.

Chennai, Sep 25: A Dubai-bound Emirates flight, whose onward journey on Tuesday was delayed following detection of smoke from the wing portion, left for its destination past midnight after due checks and clearance, officials at the airport said.

The flight with 280 passengers left for Dubai at 12.40 am, they said on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, just before its departure, smoke emanated from the wing portion of the flight, leading to a flutter. A video of the purported incident showed smoke coming out from the tail part of the airplane as well.

After the smoke was noticed at 9.15 pm on Tuesday, officials were alerted by the flight crew and technical experts inspected the airplane and the smoke ceased in about 10 minutes, even as fire tenders also arrived.

The reason for the smoke was not disclosed immediately by authorities.
