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.

Kolkata (PTI): In a purported video that surfaced from Sandeshkhali, a local BJP leader was heard saying that over 70 women had received Rs 2,000 each for taking part in protests against local TMC satrap Shahjahan Sheikh and his aides who were accused of sexual assault and land grab.

In the video, lasting over 45 minutes, a man resembling Sandeshkhali mandal president Gangadhar Kayal told this to the questioner. It was Kayal who had earlier said in another purported clip, the first in a series in the past week, that the rape allegations were “staged”.

PTI did not independently verify the authenticity of the videos.

In the latest tape that surfaced on Saturday night, Kayal was heard saying that 70 women got Rs 2,000 each for taking part in protests against Sheikh who was arrested and later suspended by the police.

"We will need Rs 2.5 lakh in cash for 50 booths where 30 per cent of protesters would be women. We have to keep the SC, ST and OBC people here in good humour by paying them satisfactorily. In any situation, women will form the front row confronting the police," he said in the video.

Kayal could not be contacted, but the BJP has dubbed the videos as fake.

TMC spokesperson Riju Dutta said,"The truth of the BJP's fake narrative on Sandeshkhali is tumbling out of the closet."

Multiple purported videos of Sandeshkhali women have surfaced and shared by the TMC in the past few days.

In the first such videotape that emerged on May 4, Kayal was heard saying that the “staged” protests were lodged at the behest of Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, who was behind the “whole conspiracy”.

The second video was about women, who had earlier filed rape complaints, claiming that they were made to sign a blank paper by the BJP leaders and coerced to go to the police station.

In another clip, BJP candidate from Basirhat constituency and Sandeshkhali protestor Rekha Patra claimed that she “doesn’t know the rape survivors who were taken to Delhi to meet the President.”

The TMC has already moved the Election Commission against National Commission for Women chairperson Rekha Sharma accusing her that she had misused her official position by allegedly telling some of the women in Sandeshkhali to lodge rape complaints against TMC leaders in the area.

“The TMC is using fake videos to change the narrative ahead of the polls. The TMC has the least regard for NCW or the dignity of the women of Sandeshkhali. All the videos released are fake and doctored,” BJP state spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya said.

The riverine Sandeshkhali area — situated on the borders of the Sundarbans, about 100 kilometres from Kolkata — had been on the boil in February with protests over allegations of sexual abuse and land grab against now arrested TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh and his supporters.
