Karnataka government announced Rs2 lakh compensation to each of the families of those killed in the Air India plane crash at Bajpe airport in Mangalore today.

Chief minister BS Yeddyurappa, who left for Mangalore by a special defence helicopter accompanied by home minister VS Acharya, had to land near Hassan due to bad weather and proceeded to Mangalore by road, an official statement said.
