March 3, 2018

Abu Dhabi: The Bearys Welfare Forum-Abu Dhabi, recently organized a seminar on Global Economy and Repercussions on NRIs focusing mainly on Gulf Kannadigas at Grand Continental Hotel, here. Several prominent NRI personalities from various fields attended the seminar.

Saif Sultan of Hope Foundation was the resource person. Advocate Saaduddin Salih, Altaf Kateeb and Rafeq Ahmed of Sahibaan, Mohammed Hakeem of KCF, Abdul Salam Deralkatte, ICC, were guests of honor.

Abdulla Madumoole, General Secretary, BWF, delivered the introductory speech. Comparing the repercussions of the Great Depression of 1930 with that of the repercussions on the world economy after the Great Recession of 2008, he some rulers like Hitler had manipulated the hardship of people into their own advantage by exploiting the nationalistic emotions in the 30s and a similar atmosphere prevails world over now and people are vulnerable again to an emotional nationalistic blackmail.

Governments in UAE and world over spent on infrastructure projects to overcome the financial crisis exactly how America did in 30s. Though the economy of UAE has stabilized, unfortunately NRIs have been losing jobs. To discuss various issues relating to NRIs and make the people aware of investment opportunities and financial facilities available to them back in India, BWF organized this seminar “Global Economy and Repercussions on NRIs”.

Mohammed Ali Uchil, President, BWF, in his welcome address put a few words on ‘major challenges for NRIs to get adjusted in Indian conditions’. NRIs who have worked in high position in foreign countries may face problem in adjusting in India, he said adding that the big concern for NRIs is their kids who may find sudden change in their lifestyle for which they are not prepared. 

“The kids of NIRs face problems in adjusting in Indian schools. They may face problem in interaction with their pear group who may like to converse in the local language while they prefer talking in English. NRI kids have to struggle adjusting with Indian lifestyle. There are vast difference in values and habits of NRI kids and Indian children. It is observed that NRIs who are thinking of returning back must fully understand the living conditions of India before they take such a step. There are various issues that they have to be tackled while living in India and they must be aware of them.  The main hurdles may include cultural, logistical and economic etc. Rebuilding healthy relationship with their relatives, friends and others will also be a challenge. They have to follow all customs and traditions and participate in cultural and religious festivals. NRIs placed at high position in companies abroad are accustomed to a certain lifestyle. Their lifestyle in foreign countries is completely different and they may find living conditions in India a big problem. They may have to face problems like hygiene, and other such life style related issues,” he said.

He thanked BWF-executive committee members for their hard work, dedication and effort to organize the function and bring in to its complete success and spirit. “It’s an incredible achievement for BWF, which managed to accomplish so many tasks to its utmost goal set, and God willing all of its project will be a complete success.”

Mandya, July 30: BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Wednesday said Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has done a commendable job in tackling the Covid-19 situation and floods and that the question of changing the leadership does not arise.

Karnataka on Wednesday reported 5,503 new cases of Covid-19 and 92 related fatalities, taking the total number of infections to 1,12,504 and the death toll to 2,147.

Speaking to reporters here, Kateel said, "Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi has gone to Delhi to discuss the projects sanctioned to state with the central minister. There is no need to read too much into it."

Replying to a query on graft charges against the BSY government by the Congress, Kateel said, "Congress national president, state unit president are out on bail in graft cases . Why did a Congress leader who calls himself a bande (rock) has approached court seeking stay on CBI probe? Before making any allegations against the government, they should think about 'irregularities' in Indira Canteen and housing schemes," he charged.

Instead of instilling confidence and hope among the people in these testing times, the Congress is unnecessarily creating fear with petty politics, he told reporters in Shravanabelagola, Hassan district.

"The Yediyurappa-led BJP government is working day and night to tackle the Covid-19. Similarly, several non-governmental organisations have joined hands with the government in the fight against the virus. But, the Congress is only creating confusion by issuing baseless statements," Kateel said.

Kathmandu, Feb 12: Nepal has suspended the licence of a mountainous resort for three months due to poor security management and managerial weakness at the hotel where eight Indian tourists, including four minors, died of possible asphyxiation, according to media reports.

Kathmandu: Nepal has suspended the licence of a mountainous resort for three months due to poor security management and managerial weakness at the hotel where eight Indian tourists, including four minors, died of possible asphyxiation, according to media reports.

Tragedy struck a group of 15 tourists from Kerala when eight of them died on January 21 due to possible asphyxiation after they fell unconscious probably due to a gas leak from a heater in their room at a mountainous resort in Makwanpur district.

The tourists were airlifted to HAMS hospital here where they were pronounced dead on arrival. Makwanpur police said the victims might have fallen unconscious due to asphyxiation.

The Department of Tourism on Sunday imposed a ban on the operation of Daman-based Everest Panorama Resort for three months based on the report submitted by a probe committee formed to investigate the death of the Indian tourists from Kerala, the Kathmandu Post reported on Tuesday.

The department decided to shut down the resort as the report submitted by a probe committee pointed out poor security management and managerial weakness at the resort for the incident, it said.

The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation had formed the probe committee under Surendra Thapa, the director of the Department of Tourism. After a field inspection, the committee had submitted its report a few days ago, pointing to the shortcomings of the resort.

During the investigation, the committee found the resort had not been following the recommended safety measures and was providing substandard services to its guests, The Himalayan Times reported.

Moreover, the committee discovered that the resort had not fulfilled the criteria set by DoT to be categorised a 'resort', it said.

Mira Acharya, director of DoT was quoted as saying by the report that the resort's operations have been halted as per Section 15 of Tourism Act-1979.

"If the resort owner wishes to resume services after three months of suspension, the resort should be upgraded as per the Hotel, Lodge, Restaurant, Bar and Tourist Guide Rules-1981 and also meet the criteria mentioned in a notice published in the Nepal Gazette under the title 'Hotel Classification and Criteria'," Acharya said.

She added that the resort would also have to undergo the Environment Impact Assessment to get the permission from DoT to resume operation.

Meanwhile, the resort management has said that they will work towards meeting the standards fixed by the department and run the resort efficiently.

"We will work towards meeting the standards fixed by the department and run the resort efficiently. We are saddened by the tragic incident. We will ensure that such incidents don't occur in the future,” said Sudesh Gautam, the operator of the resort was quoted as saying by the Kathmandu Post.

The group, after travelling to Pokhara -- a popular mountainous tourist destination -- was on their way back home and stayed at Everest Panorama Resort in Daman.

Those who were killed were Praveen Krishnan Nair, his wife Saranya Sasi and their three children and Ranjith Kumar Adatholath Punathil, his wife Indu Lakshmi Peethambaran Ragalatha and their son.

Everest Panorama Resort was established 28 years ago in Daman Simbhajyang area, a tourist destination in Bagmati Province. The tourist numbers, according to Thaha Hotel Association, have plunged after the tragic accident of January 27.
