Anand Lobo proposed to the Indian Ambassador that to mark the landmark  inaugural  occasion, he would shortly call for a meeting of other members of the Indian community of the region to co-ordinate on a short, colourful cultural programme in Mangalore and in Bahrain, requesting for the Ambassador's participation as well.  He further mentioned there could be other important dignitaries and VIPs attending the programme in both Mangalore and Bahrain. A detailed programme will be chalked out as the date of the inaugural AIRINDIA EXPRESS inaugural service draws closer.
