Riyadh: Mangalorean Community to Kick off 'Direct Flight' Campaign

Media Release
Riyadh, Jun 12: A large number of NRIs from the coastal and Western Ghats region of Karnataka, and North Kerala, are engaged in business or employed in Saudi Arabia. Since the commencement of the International Airport at Bajpe, it is a dream of thousands of NRIs who reside in Saudi Arabia to fly directly from Riyadh to their home town Mangalore.
Even though there is a huge population of Mangalorean expatriates living in Riyadh, it is unfortunate that there is no common platform for Mangaloreans to represent their community. With this agenda in mind it is decided to start a separate organization which will represent every community and group and collectively fulfill goals.
Mangalorean community members are planning to meet at Khayyam Restaurant – Hail Wazarat (Hara) Riyadh. Between 4pm and 6 pm on Jun 20, 2008
The primary agenda will be:

Community members have urged all residents to rise above caste, language and creed and join hands in this campaign to make the Riyadh –Mangalore direct flight possible.
