Subramanya (DK), Oct 25: A day after a local leader of Hindu Jagarana Vedike (HJV) was assaulted allegedly by the aides of Chaithtra Kundapura, a firebrand figure of ‘Hindutva’ over a religious controversy, a massive protest was held on Thursday at Subramanya, a temple town in Sullia taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.

Guruprasad Panja, Sullia taluk secretary of HJV was hospitalised on Wednesday night after he was attacked with an iron rod following a heated on-camera argument with Chaithra on the street.

Chaithra, a young journalist-turned-Hindutva chauvinist, who is known for her aggressive Kannada speeches, had reportedly earned the wrath of a section of local Hindus by criticising the ritual of ‘Sarpa Samskara’ at Kukke Shree Subrahmanya Temple.

Affectionately called as “tigress” among her followers in coastal Karnataka, Chaithra had in fact endorsed the stance of Samputa Narasimha Mutt. This had reportedly led to mudslinging between her and HJV leader on social media.

On Wednesday evening, Chaithra along with a group of supporters confronted Guruprasad and his aides at Kashi-katte near Subramanya. Amidst the heated exchange of words between two groups, one of the men in Chaithra’s group hit Guruprasad with an iron rod.

The police, who reached the spot after the climax, took Chaithra and her supporters into custody. A profusely bleeding Guruprasad was taken to a private hospital for treatment.

On Thursday, hundreds of local Hindu took out a protest rally at Subramanya and raised slogan against Chaithra and demanded action against her. Most of the shops were remained closed in the town in the day in response to the bandh call given by the HJV against the attack.

Bengaluru, Jun 18: Real estate continues to be a preferred asset class for investors amid the uncertainty emerging out of the pandemic, according to a report by National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) and Housing.com.

Titled 'Concerned yet positive - The Indian Real Estate Consumer (April-May 2020)', the report showed that the real estate consumer remains positive with regard to the economic scenario and income stability for the coming six months.

"Real estate (35 per cent) is still perceived as the preferred mode of investment, followed by gold (28 per cent), fixed deposits (22 per cent), stocks (16 per cent) and homebuyers are likely to slowly return to the market in the coming six months," it said.

Price-points of residential realty have remained muted for the past few years, but are still a key deterrent, with the perception of being still unaffordable, according to nearly half of the potential homebuyers surveyed, who are currently staying in rented accommodation.

A majority of respondents surveyed (73%) comprise 'first time homebuyers', who are looking to buy a 'ready-to-move-in-house' for end-use and are from the age group of 25-45 years. While 60% of respondents opined that for the next six months, they would prefer a ready-to-move-in property, 21% said they were okay with a property with a delivery timeline of maximum one year.

The survey was conducted in April and May 2020, through a random sampling technique for a fair representation across regions. The insights presented in the survey represent the view of more than 3,000 potential homebuyers.
