Mangalore, Nov 3: Two persons were injured in a lightning strike at Mangalore International Airport here on Saturday November 2, sources said.

The injured persons have been identified as Yogish and Raghavendra, who work for Air India Express as loaders.

The lightning struck them while they were loading the luggage into the Air India Express Goa flight, it is learnt. They were soon shifted to a hospital in the city with injuries on their legs and back, sources said.

Lightning accompanied by strong winds and light rain took the citizens by surprise on Saturday evening. The strong winds also caused damage at Kankanady market, where the corrugated roof of a cracker stall was blown off, injuring two girls and leading to heated exchange of words between the locals and stall keepers.

    Nowadays we experience a change in monsoon pattern in India and the cause of change still unclear.Let us pray that extra rains bring good to the nation rather than havoc to the people.

    since AII is goverment run airline it is sustain the Mangalore route. THe Private airliners will come and stay for max six months and stop their service. It is not monopoly. You might have seen KSRTC offering service to the remote areas while there are no any private buses offer service.

    I think people have forgotten what has happened in Mangalore 4 years back. Some times passengers need have patience for their own safety. If some thing goes wrong again all the blames come to airline staff.

    real damage at Bajpe airport still behind the screen.Walkway from terminal to aircraft seems damaged.
    Passenger of airindia (cattle carrier) MANAGLORE/DOHA stranded in side the flight more than TWO and a HALF hours. No one staff from ariline ready to explain or convenience. Later after one young age passenger raised his voice against the difficulty for which dirty airhostess turned down to help passenger. But knowing situation inside the air craft moving towards worst,she started to open her mouth with a cunning apology. Dear Mangalorean's whether you required this kind of airlines think and choose always a safest airline.
