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.

New Delhi, Feb 1: An extremist today fired shots at anti-CAA protesters at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi, just three days after another extremist fired at protesters at nearby Jamia Millia University. This is the second daylight shooting in which the police caught the man only after the shots were fired.

The man, apparently a fan of BJP leaders including Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, shouted "Jai Sri Ram" as he fired shots standing near police barricades put up at the south Delhi locality where hundreds of women and children have sat on the road in protest for more than a month. He was caught by the police. No one was injured. 

The shooter was also heard saying: "Humare desh mein sirf Hinduon ki chalegi aur kisi ki nahi (in our country only Hindus will prevail)." He had allegedly come to the area in an auto.

A witness said the man fired two-three times, standing right next to the police, not at the spot of the protest but close enough to a large crowd of unarmed men, women and children. 

"We suddenly heard gunshots. This person was shouting Jai Shri Ram. He had a semi-automatic pistol and he fired two rounds. The police were standing just behind him," said the witness, a volunteer at the protest.

"When his gun jammed, he ran. He tried to fire again, then tossed the gun into the bushes and tried to escape. Some of us and the police caught him, the police dragged him away," he added. Protesters questioned whether the police were more focused on keeping an eye on them rather than tackling crimes like this.

Police officer Chinmay Biswal said the man had fired shots in the air. "The man had resorted to aerial firing. Police immediately overpowered and caught him," he said.

This incident - the second shooting in Delhi at an anti-CAA protest -- has chilling similarities to the one that took place just two km away at Jamia university on Thursday, when a 17-year-old Class 12 boy from Uttar Pradesh fired a crude pistol at unarmed protesters with dozens of policemen behind him, watching. The teen, who left home claiming he was going to school, took a bus to Delhi intending to target Shaheen Bagh but landed at Jamia next-door after an auto-driver dropped him off there to avoid the traffic chaos.

The shootings have taken place in quick succession after controversial slogans of "Goli Maaro Sa***n Ko (shoot the traitors)" were chanted on Monday at a Delhi campaign rally of Anurag Thakur, the Union Minister of State for Finance, who was part of the team involved in Budget 2020 announced today.

Mr Thakur was banned from campaigning in Delhi for three days for egging on BJP workers to shout the "Goli Maaro" slogan.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal slammed Home Minister Amit Shah, to whose ministry the Delhi Police reports to, over the two shooting incidents. "What have you done to our Delhi, Amit Shah ji? Bullets are being fired in broad daylight... Law and order is being criticised constantly. Elections will come and go, politics will keep happening, but for the sake of the people of Delhi, please focus on fixing law and order," he tweeted.

The Shaheen Bagh protest has attracted attention from across the country in the protests against the CAA or the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which makes religion a criterion for citizenship. Critics say the law discriminates against Muslims as only non-Muslims from neighbouring Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh can become Indian citizens if they fled religious persecution and entered India before 2015.

Of late, critics of the Shaheen Bagh protests, mainly pro-CAA activists, have attacked the month-long sit-in on a key road in Delhi connecting to Noida. They say the protest has become a traffic nightmare for commuters.
