Inland Indoors conferred with Outstanding Interior Designers award 2020
At the “IDWA 2020 (INTERIOR DESIGN WOW AWARDS)” event, a program organized under the joint auspices of the Indian Design School and AK Group, the award for “Outstanding Residential Apartment Interior Project” was conferred on Inland Indoors, one of Karnataka’s leading Interior design companies.
The award was presented to Mr Meraj Yusuf Siraj by Ar Shamala Prabhu, one of the state’s best known architects and NEC member of IIID, in a glittering ceremony that took place at The Gateway Hotel, Mangalore on Friday, February 7.
The IDWA Awards has been jointly instituted by IDS (Indian School of Design) and Apply Ply. It selects the most distinguished achievers from among the state's outstanding interior design companies to recognise and honour them for their outstanding work in the field of interior design and execution. The awardees were selected after evaluation against several highly demanding criteria by a jury consisting of Ar. Namit Tandon and Ar. Pallavi Prakash, two of the country’s most celebrated architects.
Speaking to the media and fraternity, post the award cermony, Meraj Yusuf Siraj, Managing Partner of Inland Indoors said, “I am indeed delighted with this recognition that comes from two of the most respected organizations in the field of Interior Design that are known for their yeoman service to interior design in the state. Awards such as these will go a long way in motivating young people like me who take the challenging path of entrepreneurship. Interior Design is a fairly new concept in India. It is only recently that people have moved away from focusing on interiors as just furniture and fittings to the concept of making the interior of their office or home reflect their lifestyle or their business philosophy. Interior Design is evolving very rapidly even in small cities like Mangalore. We as a company are very excited to be part of this dynamic field where intangibles like design and creativity are valued very highly. A lot of young talent is now coming into this field and we are very happy to nurture this talent in our company to give customers a wide range of interior solutions.” Meraj took the opportunity to thank his father, Siraj Ahamed, Chairman of the In-land Group, for his unwavering guidance and support as well as his entire team for their contribution in making Inland Indoors an award-winning organization.

Karnataka govt directs municipal corps to regulate, prohibit pigeon feeding
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka government has issued directions to municipal corporations across the state to regulate and prohibit feeding pigeons in public places, citing serious public health concerns.
Deputy Secretary to Government V Lakshmikanth has written to the Urban Development Department requesting it to issue directions to the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) and all municipal corporations to take immediate steps to implement the measures.
In an official note dated December 16 issued by the Health and Family Welfare Department and released to the media on Wednesday, the department said uncontrolled feeding of pigeons in public places has resulted in large congregations of birds, excessive droppings and serious health concerns, particularly respiratory illnesses linked to prolonged exposure to pigeon droppings and feathers such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis and other lung diseases.

"The commissioner, the Greater Bengaluru Authority and the Commissioners and chief officers of other municipal corporations shall take necessary action to mitigate the causes of dangerous disease spread by pigeon and enforce specified guidelines in their respective jurisdiction," the note said.
According to the department, these include a prohibition on feeding pigeons or causing pigeons to be fed in areas where it may cause nuisance or pose a health hazard to the public. Pigeon feeding shall be permitted only in designated areas in a controlled manner, subject to certain conditions.
"The designated areas may be selected in consultation with stakeholders. The responsibility for upkeep of the designated areas and compliance to the directions shall be taken up by some charitable organisation or an NGO. The feeding in designated areas shall be permitted only for some limited hours in the day," it said.
The note further stated that authorised officers of local authorities shall issue on-the-spot warnings and may impose fines for violation of the order, or lodge complaints to prosecute offenders under Sections 271 (Negligent act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life) and 272 (Malignant act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
It also directed local authorities to conduct public awareness campaigns, including the display of signboards, banners and digital messages, explaining the health hazards associated with pigeon droppings and feathers, the content of the regulatory directions and penalties for violations, and alternative humane methods of bird conservation that do not endanger public health.
