A special commemorative plaque was unveiled by His Excellency Sheikh Majid bin Saeed Al Nuaimi from the ruling family of Ajman (Chairman of the Ruler’s Court of Ajman and Ex-Minister of Supreme Council Affairs, Abu Dhabi), along with Mr. Thumbay Moideen (Founder President of Gulf Medical University, Ajman) and Mr. K.E. Faizal (Chairman of KEF Holdings, DIFC). A brief presentation was held which highlighted MWW’s various ongoing projects and achievements in the recent past.

Setting up a new Sawmill in the middle of a desert way back in 1993 was out of the norm, since most sawmills are normally and strategically located close to huge forests or plantations – Mr. B.M. Ashraf (Managing Director), who founded and established MWW in Ajman did the opposite and created a new paradigm in the bargain which turned out to be a resounding success.

Backed by the ruling family of Ajman and combining Mr. Ashraf’s visionary stewardship MWW has since been able to position itself as a leader in effectively cater to the regions ever increasing demand for timber and allied products, thereby becoming the most recognized supplier of dimensioned timber and natural forest products in the Gulf today. MWW also ranks as the largest Sawmill in the Middle East and is one of the biggest importers of round logs from many remote corners of the globe, which are processed at their sawmills in Ajman and Sharjah.

Over the years MWW has gradually gained recognition as a major player in Global timber trade, procuring and trading in timber and logs through its vast well established network of suppliers and end users across several countries. Closer to home MWW has been a boon in creating new job opportunities in the Gulf for people from Mangalore and Dakshina Kannada who are keen on pursuing the age old traditions of their families who have worked in the sawmilling trade.

Dubai, Aug 7: ‘Nama Tuluve’ Purushotham Salian, a staunch stalwart who always supported humanity and a strong pillar for Tuluvas in Dubai, passed away August, 4 at Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain. He was suffering from cancer and was admitted to Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain some time ago. He was on the last stage of illness which was not detected earlier.

His funeral last rites were conducted on Thursday August 7 at Jebel Ali cemetery in Hindu rites with a few of his family members present. Due to Covid pandemic, neither his body was able to be flown back to hometown nor could his two children come down to attend the funeral. However, it was said that his wish was to be cremated here in Dubai which unknowingly sometime back he whispered to one of his friends.

Purushotham had few years ago, survived a heart attack and fought back his life, though it had a minor paralytic effect on him. Even though, till recently he used to do his day-to-day work normally. He was a hard working personality and owned a readymade garment shop in Ajman and Dubai mostly taking care of clients with requirement of uniforms and coveralls. His dedication towards work was always appreciated by his clients who used to get their things delivered on time always.

He was never a publicity person and was helping the poor and needy in whatever ways he could silently. He strongly supported the community and was associated with Nama Tuluveru and Billawa community with commitment. He used to voluntarily come forward for the ground work of various functions of the community and used to be there until it was done perfectly.
