Mangalore, May 23: Bhopal based Muhammad Ali, one of the crew members who died in the tragic Mangalore Air Crash, had already resigned from the post of Flight Steward from Air India, seeking a U turn in his career. But, all his dreams and wishes remained unfulfilled when the Boeing 737-800 aircraft turned into a death craft in a tragic accident.

Ali (24), served the Air India as Flight Steward for two years and resigned last week intending to enter hotel industry. But, he could not leave the job as the notice period was on, prior to the appointment of a new flight Stewart.

The family of Ali lives in the Shajanabad Hospital city complex in Bhopal. His father Sayeed Iftiqar Ali is a retired bank executive.

Ali's family comprised of his parents and his three sisters. He had visited Bhopal just a week ago and had taken his family to Delhi three days ago. On Saturday, his father and other family members were in Delhi when the news of air disaster came in. Immediately on receipt of this sad news they all left for Mangalore.

Mangaluru: A tragic accident took place on Saturday at Chembugudde near Thokkottu, claiming the life of a 47-year-old woman after a tanker lorry ran over her. The victim, identified as Rahmat H Rashid, was riding pillion with her husband, Abdul Rashid G, on their scooter.

The couple was traveling from Yenepoya Hospital to Bajpe when the scooter skidded on the poorly maintained road. Rahmat fell onto the road and was fatally struck by a tanker lorry that was coming from behind. Despite being rushed to the hospital, doctors declared her dead upon arrival.

The incident prompted a swift response from the DYFI Ullal Taluk Committee, which staged a protest on Saturday night, condemning the unsafe condition of the road. Nithin Kuthar, president of the committee, criticized MLA and Legislative Assembly Speaker UT Khader for failing to ensure safe infrastructure, despite touting the road as toll-free.

Kuthar demanded immediate repairs, warning that the committee would march to the MLA’s office with black flags if the road is not fixed within a week.

Former DYFI State President Sunil Kumar Bajal also voiced frustration over the deteriorating condition of Thokkottu market, highlighting the struggles people face while crossing roads riddled with dangerous potholes. In response to public outcry, temporary repairs were made to the road at Chembugudde on Sunday, though locals remain wary and demand a more permanent solution.
