This was revealed by P S Mohammed, managing director, Ecologic Habitats at a press meet here on Thursday November 19.

The Mangaluru-based real estate development firm 'Ecologic Habitats' is all set to revolutionize the idea of traveling on the Indian highways with the concept of transit oriented development. Transit- one is strategically located on NH-66, Thokottu, the southern gateway to Mangaluru city.

Addressing the press meet, P S Mohammed said, "The idea is to maximize the shopping access to public and private transport along this busy freeway that connects Kerala to Mangaluru, Goa, Mumbai and so on. Transit One also caters to the Thokottu region, a fast growing suburb with numerous educational institutes and IT firms. The tagline 'Stop. Recharge. Restart' sums up the transit situated on 40 cents of land with 50,000 sq ft area of plush shopping experience. It addresses the need of the hour for towns like Thokottu, which otherwise would have to depend on nearby Mangaluru city to meet their routine shopping and recreational requirements.

"Transit One offers a wide range of products right from affordable mini boutique stores to large drive in supermarkets, restaurants, food courts, social clubs, thus catering to all sections of the society. The external facade also has a large electronic display screen where one can showcase their ideas and brands. Promoters of the project envision Transit One to be a 'Small world of large happiness'," he added.

"The visitors step into the level 1 by strolling across the external landscaped plaza, where they are welcomed by their favourite branded stores. Level 2 is the urban fashionista's delight where a wide range of trendy apparel accessories catch your eye. Level 3 is what the Ecologic says is the modem version of the 'Old Indian Bazaar', where the local entrepreneurial spirit is at full display at the smaller boutique stores. Level 4 offers an extensive variety of culinary options with the perfect ambience," he explained.

"Ecologic Habitats boasts of raking in the services of the best in industry to design and implement the project. Well-landscaped environs is what we believe is at the core of our product portfolio. Services of a leading Bengaluru-based landscape architect has been sought to breathe in green into the entire shopping experience. At Ecologic Habitats it is our commitment to add value to all our buildings by breathing green into them. We aspire to partner with a like-minded set of discernible clientele, so that it can add value to their investments by consistently delivering products that inspire," P S Mohammed said.

Kareem, director and Pradeep Hegde, associate, Ecologic Habitats were present at the press meet.

Bengaluru, Feb 29: A Lingayat seer on Friday threatened to get 10 BJP MLAs to quit if Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa does not make MLA Dattatreya Patil Revoor a minister soon.

"If Yediyurappa does not make BJP's Gulbarga South MLA Dattatreya Patil Revoor a minister, I will get 10 ruling party legislators resign and reduce the government to a minority, forcing the Chief Minister to resign," said Srishaila Saranga mutt seer Deshikendra Swami at a meeting in Kalaburagi on Friday.

Addressing a gathering of the Lingayat community, to which Revoor belongs, the seer said although he wanted Yediyurappa to complete the remaining 3-year term in office and the BJP to return to power after the next elections, it would be difficult for Yediyurappa to continue if Revoor is not made a minister.

"Yediyurappa will be in office for the next three years if he makes Revoor minister. If not, I will ask him (latter) also to resign, as does not need to be in politics anymore because he has a house, many acres of agricultural land and is very rich," the seer told the gathering in Kannada.

In his nomination to contest in the May 2018 assembly elections, Revoor (37) declared in an affidavit Rs 17-crore assets, including immovable properties.

Wishing Yediyurappa to remain in office for the next three years and return as Chief Minister, the seer said if Yediyurappa is forced to quit, then the Lingayat community would not get an opportunity to have its leader as Chief Minister again for at least 30 years.

Yediyurappa, whose constituency is Shikaripura in Shivamogga district, is considered the tallest Lingayat leader of the politically powerful community, which accounts for 18% of the 6.5-crore state's population.

Though a dozen BJP legislators won from the erstwhile Hyderabad-Karnataka region in the May 2018 Assembly elections, only Prabhu Chauhan from the adjacent Bidar district was made minister for animal husbandry.

The Saranga mutt seer’s threat comes a month after Veerashaiva Lingayat Panchamasali seer Swami Vachananda, dared Yediyurappa to make 3 of the community legislators ministers ahead of the second cabinet expansion on February 6.

At a Lingayat gathering in the state's Davengere district on January 15, Vachananda told Yediyurappa to make party's Bilgi legislator Murgesh Nirani Minister, failing which the community would withdraw its support to the ruling party.

Hiryur is about 300km northwest of the southern state's capital Bengaluru.

Ticking off the young seer, a defiant Yediyurappa, however, threatened to walk out of the meeting if he was blackmailed for making Lingayat MLAs ministers.

"You cannot threaten me saying your sub-sect (Veera Shaiva) community would not support the BJP in the next assembly or Lok Saba elections, due in 2023 and 2024," retorted Yediyurappa, reasserting his status as the community's strongman in the state.

In the second cabinet expansion, only 10 newly elected legislators who defected from the Congress and the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) were made ministers, leaving 6 posts vacant in the 34-member ministry.

In the first cabinet expansion on August 20, 2019, 17 party legislators were made ministers. Nirani and others, who were present on the dais, pacified Yediyurappa to take his seat and requested the seer to avoid making political speech on such occasions.

"The chief minister threatened to resign than succumb to pressures from religious or community followers," a party official told media.
