Jubail, October 6: The Indian Forum Jubail (IFJ) celebrated the Indian Independence Day with patriotic songs and talent show programme.

 

The exquisite evening was held at the Deluxe Petrokemya Beach camp of Jubail Industrial City over the weekend.

 

Veteran Bollywood actor Kiran Kumar was the chief guest. In his address he appreciated the good work being done by the Forum and emphasized the need to promote educational, cultural, social and business aspirations of the large Indian community in Jubail.

 

 

Known for his exclusive style of acting, he delivered some of his movie dialogues to entertain the large gathering. He said the expatriates are so lucky to have two motherlands — one where they are originally born and the other one that helps them grow professionally. He requested the expatriates to treat both the motherlands equally, respecting the rules and regulations set by them.

 

Kiran, son of the legendary Bollywood villain Jeevan, highlighted the role of education and felt that the Indian diaspora needed a university here. He volunteered any possible help and also assured the support of the Indian filmdom.

 

The IFJ was established in 2005 to promote educational, cultural, social and business aspirations of Indian nationals residing in Jubail.

 

Aziz Ahmad Siddiqui, the master of ceremony, welcomed the guests and the members. President Habib Shaikh briefed the audience on the mission of the forum. Shameer Ahmed Kudroli outlined the program of IFJ for the term 2012-2014.

 

The outgoing executive committee headed by Anis Bakhsh as president was honored for their excellent performance and valuable achievements.

 

The incoming executive team includes Habib Shaikh (President), Shameer Ahmed Kudroli (vice president administration), Mohammed Shibli (vice president operations), Aziz Ahmad Siddiqui (vice president public relations), Azhar Alam Khan (general secretary), Pascal D’Souza (joint secretary) and Mohammed Khursheed Anwar (treasurer).

Dubai, Aug 7: One may call it good luck, but for two Indian expats it was God who prevented them at the last minute from boarding the Air India Express plane that crashed in Kerala, killing at least 18 people on board.

According to India's Civil Aviation Ministry, the Boeing 737 aircraft on a flight from Dubai to Kozhikode overshot the runway at Kozhikode airport on Friday evening. There were 184 passengers including 10 infants, 2 pilots and four cabin crew onboard the aircraft.

Noufal Moin Vetten, an Ajman resident working as an office boy in a Sharjah school, was booked to travel on the flight and had checked in as per schedule.

Recounting his miraculous escape, Vetten, a resident of Malappuram, Thirunavaya, whose visa was cancelled a week ago, told Gulf News: “I was handed my boarding pass, but when I reached immigration, they told me I had to pay a fine of Dh 1,000 (Rs 20,430) for overstay. I had only Dh 500 (Rs10,215) with me.

"I called my school PRO and he told me to come back. He said they would follow protocols and pay the fines before sending me,“ he said.

Vetten was disappointed and called his family to let them know.

“When I heard about the crash, I was saddened for all the passengers. But I'm so relieved I missed it. God has been really merciful,” said Vetten.

Afsal Parrakodan, a resident of Abu Dhabi, had a similar stroke of luck.

“My work visa was cancelled about a week ago. After getting my boarding pass, I was told I had to pay a fine of Dh1,000 at the immigration counter, but I had only Dh500 on me.”

“I was very keen to board the flight and be with my family. So I called a friend who brought me the additional Dh500, but by then, my baggage had been offloaded and the flight's doors were closed,” said Parrakodan.

“I was feeling very sad and called my mother to tell her I had missed the flight. But a few hours later, when I learnt of the crash, I couldn’t help but feel relieved and thankful to God for saving my life,“ said an overwhelmed Parrakodan who plans to fly back next week.
