Mangaluru, Jun 26: For the first time in the history of Ullal, Muslims offered Eid al-Fitr namaz for two consecutive days in the same mosque, a development observed by Islamic scholars  as “most unfortunate and un-Islamic.”

With this the internal clash between two factions of Sayyid Shareeful Madani Dargah and central Juma Masjid has entered a new phase.

High drama prevailed, when a group of followers of beleaguered Ullal Khazi Fazal Koyamma Thangal aka Koorath Thangal, entered the premises of the mosque located adjacent to the dargah chanting takbir as part of Eid celebration on Monday noon.

Those who were inside the mosque, locked the doors from inside in an attempt to prevent the followers of Koorth Thangal from offering Eid namaz for the second day. Police had to intervene to bring the situation under control when the verbal altercation between two group led to a physical clash.

After a prolonged argument, the followers of Koorath Thangal were allowed to offer Eid namaz in congregation in the same mosque. Police had provided tight security for the namaz.

A majority of Muslims in Ullal had offered Eid namaz in juma mosque (dargah mosque) and other mosques on Sunday. However, followers of Koortha Thangal had observed fast on Sunday and postponed Eid to Monday.

Abdul Rasheed Haji, the president of the management committee of the Juma mosque and dargah had yesterday justified the decision of celebrating Eid al-Fitr on Sunday in spite of the sudden opposition by Koorath Thangal, who is not in touch with the committee for past one year.

“Dakshina Kannada Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal had already announced Eid after verifying moon-sighting reports from Bhatkal on Saturday night. Hence, in Ullal, assistant Khazi announced the Eid in the absence of Koorath Thangal,” he clarified.
Why two days?

Koorath Thangal was appointed as the Khazi of Ullal in March 2014 following the demise of his father Thajul Ulama Assayyid Abdurrahman Al-Bukhari, who was the Khazi of Ullal for several decades. Koorath Thangal’s several moves had triggered controversy in last couple of years.

According to sources, the reason for fresh controversy is that management committee of the mosque did not inform Koorath Thangal before announcing the end of the Ramadan Saturday night as he was not in touch with the committee.

As soon as Koorath Thangal realized that announcement of Eid was made without his permission, he sent a voice message on social media stating that Sunday will be the 30th day of Ramadan. A few clerics reportedly tried to convince Koorath Thangal to change his decision but in vain.

Eid Clashes are only because of EGO. There are two groups EK & AP who are taking people for ride. People with no knowledge of Islam go behind these fools. Y do we need any Thangal or Mullah to follow Islam? There is Quraan & haddeeth, that is more than enough. people who are half-learned scholars are creating this rift between muslim community. Educated people will never do this. May ALLAH give Hidaya to these fools running behind MULLAH & Thangal.

Mangaluru: The Mangalore International Airport (MIA) will connect to a new domestic destination with the introduction of a non-stop flight to Tiruchirappalli International Airport in Tamil Nadu. 

The non-stop service, once-a-week, will operate on Wednesday (from TIA) and Thursday (from MIA), starting April 3. Air India Express will operate the flight.

The flight is expected to help those taking up a pilgrimage to Vailankani shrine.

Sources from the AIE said that the airline carrier decided to fly non-stop between the two southern Indian cities as a flight to Jeddah, which will start from April 3, arrives from Tiruchirappalli International Airport. 

“It is a ferry or positional flight from TIA to MIA. Instead of flying empty, the management has decided to run it as a commercial flight. This will help both passengers and the airline. The airline will deploy Boeing 737-800 aircraft with a 186-seater all-economy configuration on this route. 

The same flight, after landing in MIA, will further fly to Jeddah,” a source said. 

The flight IX 1498 will depart every Thursday at 5am from MIA to TIA. The TIA-MIA flight IX 1499 departs at 12.50pm. It is a one-hour nonstop flight. The same flights will also operate nonstop between Jeddah and MIA. 

The non-stop flight IX 499 will depart MIA at 2.50pm and reach King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah at 6.25pm. The IX498, will depart from Jeddah at 7.25pm and reach MIA early at 3.40am.

Mangaluru, Mar 28: A fish meal factory in the Baikampady Industrial area in Mangaluru was gutted in a fire incident on Thursday, officials said.

The factory is owned by the company 'Shihar Enterprises', they said.

According to the locals, the fire was first noticed at 4.45 am today, which was immediately reported to the fire department.

The fire engines reached the spot and tried to douse the fire, but it had already spread to other parts of the factory. After almost four hours of fire-fighting operation, the blaze was completely doused, officials.

The reason for the blaze is still being probed, the fire department officials said, adding that they suspect an electric short circuit could have triggered it.

Bengaluru, Mar 19: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said that the Congress will split in three months after the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and its impact will be visible on the Siddaramaiah-led state government.

"Due to internal squabbles, the state government will not last long," the BJP leader said.

Talking to reporters on Monday, he said the sitting MP from the Gadag-Haveri constituency, Shivakumar Udasi, has done a lot of development work and implemented the Central government's schemes effectively.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi will surely become the PM for the third time. The overall response has been good in the Gadag-Haveri Lok Sabha constituency," the former Karnataka chief minister said.

Asked if he was contesting the election in a half-hearted manner in the Gadag-Haveri seat, Bommai said "such a question does not arise when the party's high command gives instructions".

He said he would respect his opponent and not take anyone lightly.
