Mangalore: The Bearys Group has officially announced the grand launch of its much-awaited mixed-use development project, 'Bearys Turning Point', in Deralakatte, Mangalore. The announcement was made at a press conference held in the city, where Nand Kumar (Retail Head, Bearys Group), Bapu Nainar (PRO), Kodi Mohammed Iqbal, and Prafulla (Assistant Marketing) shared details about the landmark project.

The new development promises to redefine urban living and leisure in one of Mangalore’s fastest-growing areas. According to the officials, Bearys Turning Point is envisioned as a comprehensive destination combining premium apartments, diverse retail outlets, and a vibrant family entertainment experience under one roof.

At the heart of the project is a state-of-the-art Family Entertainment Centre (FEC) that includes a modern 4-screen multiplex, a well-designed multi-cuisine food court with premium dining ambience, and a range of attractions. The entertainment zone features interactive games, a four-lane bowling alley, the region’s largest indoor climbing wall, bumper cars, indoor cricket, and a dedicated play area for children.

The design of the entertainment space integrates the multiplex, FEC, and food court into one seamless layout, with high ceilings and expansive glazing that offer a blend of indoor and outdoor experiences. The space is further enhanced by panoramic views of the surrounding hills, which shift in appearance from day to night, creating two distinct visual atmospheres.

The name 'Bearys Turning Point' ,the team explained, reflects both its physical location at a turning on the main road and its symbolic meaning — representing progress, transformation, and new beginnings for the region.

The project also holds added significance due to its location in the constituency of U.T. Khader, Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The Bearys Group stated that the mall aligns with Khader's vision of transforming Mangalore constituency into a world-class city, and the group is proud to play its part in contributing to this larger dream.

Though initially scheduled to open in 2020, the project was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, with work nearing completion, the Bearys Group is ready to welcome the public for the grand launch on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 4:30 PM at Bearys Turning Point, Deralakatte.

On opening day, the mall will host free games for all visitors at its gaming hub. The retail complex will house more than 45 shops, and the next phase will see the opening of a sprawling hypermarket along with flagship outlets of leading global retail brands. The Mall also has separate prayer rooms for men and women inside the premises.

The management noted that over 25,000 students who reside and study in the Deralakatte education hub, along with residents of nearby areas including from neighbouring Kerala, will benefit from the mall's presence.

The mall will remain open until 11 PM daily, with the last screening at the multiplex beginning at 10:45 PM. The Bearys Group has extended an open invitation to the public, and all well-wishers to be part of this milestone event.

Tel Aviv: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday defended a fresh military offensive in the Gaza Strip, calling it “more sweeping than previously announced” and asserting that Israel “has no choice but to finish the job and complete the defeat of Hamas.”

Speaking amid mounting condemnation at home and abroad over the 22-month conflict, Netanyahu said the security cabinet had directed the dismantling of Hamas strongholds not only in Gaza City but also in the “central camps” and Muwasi. These areas, according to UN estimates, shelter more than half a million displaced people and had not been mentioned in Israel’s earlier announcement on Friday.

A source familiar with the operation, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed Israel’s plans to extend military action to both areas. Netanyahu maintained that “safe zones” would be established, though such areas have been bombed in previous strikes.

The announcement came as heavy bombardment was reported in Gaza City late Sunday. Shortly before midnight, Al Jazeera confirmed the killing of its correspondent Anas al-Sharif in a targeted Israeli strike. The attack hit a tent for Al Jazeera journalists outside the main gate of al-Shifa Hospital, an area known for hosting medical personnel.

Shifa Hospital’s administrative director, Rami Mohanna, said the strike killed five Al Jazeera journalists, including Sharif, whom Israel accused of leading a Hamas cell responsible for orchestrating rocket attacks. Sharif was killed moments after posting a video showing intense bombardment in Gaza City.
