Mangaluru: In-land Builders, one of Karnataka's premier property developers is receiving tremendous response to the third edition of its 20-day property mela being held at their premises, Inland Ornate, Nav Bharat Circle, Mangaluru.

The Mela was inaugurated on 8th Feb by Mangalore's senior most citizen Mr Joe Gonsalves and the founder of Daijiworld Media, Mr Walter Nandalike.

This Mela has proved to be very popular in its first two editions and this edition is no exception. Says Siraj Ahamed, Chairman & Managing Director of the In-land Group, "With all the pessimism floating around due to the COVID pandemic we had a big decision to take whether to hold the mela this time. But seeing how popular the In-land mela has always been we decided to back our instinct. Now our decision has proved to be correct. The response to this Mela is overwhelming. This is a good thing because this is indeed the best time for people to invest in property. The pandemic has revealed that most asset classes like shares, deposits etc are highly risky and only real estate is steady, safe and secure.

"The biggest attraction of this Mela is that we genuinely give huge discounts. We also offer a variety of projects in various good locations. In-land has projects in Bangalore, Mangalore, Ullal and Puttur. We have flats ranging from 35 lakhs onwards."

Explains Meraj Yusuf Siraj, Director of the In-land Group, "This mela format is unique. We have deliberately kept a long period of 20 days for the mela and are also holding it in our office itself.  This way the customer has sufficient time to visit our office, visit different project sites, discuss their preferences, interact with bank officials for home loans and make their decision. Since they are visiting us at our office the customer has all opportunity to interact not just with the sales team but also with accounts, legal and if need be with the MD himself. This gives a lot of confidence to the customer.

"Quality is the number one reason why our customers buy from us. Many of our customers and their connected families and friends are with us for the last 15-20 years, buying their second homes and commercial properties too from us. Our quality processes are ISO certified for the benefit of the customer. We also have a large in-house design studio that can render very beautiful, modern interior projects to suit any customer taste. This is a big plus as customers can get all their requirements satisfied under one roof."

 In-land has also just launched an ultra-modern commercial project– Inland Business Park located very near to KSRTC and Bharat Mall. This commercial project is attracting huge interest from NRIs as well as local buyers who want to invest in an office in this strategic main road of Mangalore. The investments pouring into Mangalore after it was declared a smart city has given a fresh impetus to port projects, IT companies and petrochemical industries. This commercial project is ideally located to cater to ancillary services of these major projects. Also, several doctors are now planning to locate their clinics in this building, away from the congested Falnir/Kankanady areas. A major attraction for buyers will be that they need not take the entire burden of investment now as they can avail installment payments, spread across the construction period.

For home buyers and office-space buyers there is no greater opportunity than the present to buy high quality properties at very moderate prices. Once the current pandemic has run its course and the economy revives, property prices are expected to shoot up sharply. The wise home buyer would do well to finalize their plans right now and save substantial amounts with these highly discounted prices. With just 10 days left to go, the mela is seeing many last minute buyers. Several of the projects are fast getting sold out.

 New Delhi (PTI): Noted sculptor Ram Sutar, known for designing the world's tallest statue — Statue of Unity — in Gujarat, passed away late on Wednesday night at his Noida residence, his son said.

He was 100 and ailing with age-related illnesses.

"It is with profound grief that we inform you of the passing of my father Shri Ram Vanji Sutar on 17th December midnight at our residence," his son Anil Sutar said in a note shared with the press on Thursday.

Born in a humble family in Gondur village under the Dhule district of present-day Maharashtra on February 19, 1925, Sutar is known to have been drawn to sculpting from his childhood.

A gold medallist from JJ School of Art and Architecture, Mumbai, Sutar, has to his credit a long list of achievements.

The iconic statues of Mahatma Gandhi seated in a meditating pose and of Chhatrapati Shivaji riding a horse on the Parliament premises rank among his finest creations.

The Statue of Unity honours Sardar Patel, country's first deputy prime minister and home minister.

Sutar was honoured with the Padma Shri in 1999 and the Padma Bhushan in 2016.

Recently, Sutar was conferred with the Maharashtra Bhushan Puraskar, the state's highest award.
