METABO TROPHY 1

In the Finals of the Division I of the 20TH Gulf Incon Metabo Floodlit Cricket tournament 2014, Hanan easily defeated Qalco by 29 runs.

At the Prize Distribution Ceremony which lasted in the early hours of the morning, Mr. Adnan Mannai, Managing Director of Gulf Incon was delighted to note the excitement the tournament had generated amongst the cricketing expatriate population. He unconditionally announced the continued annual sponsorship of this prestigious floodlit cricket tournament.

Mr. Prateek Yadav, Business Development Manager, Metabo Middle East had specially flown from Dubai to grace the occasion along with Mr. Sajjad Ahmed Khan, Sales Manager, Tools and Equipment – Gulf Incon.

QALCO winning the toss put in HANAN to bat. This proved to be a right decision as HANAN lost wickets regularly and were 36 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the first 6 overs. However some lusty hitting from Parvez 26 runs with 2 sixes got HANAN to reach a respectable total of 93 runs for the loss of 11 wickets in the allotted 12 overs. Shakeel 14 runs and Azwer 13 runs also contributed to the total.

Ifzal and Budhika took 2 wickets each while Shahid, Sumantha, Hilmy, Aftab, Abbas and Pali took a wicket each.

Chasing the easy target of QALCO were rocked when opener Majid was out hit-wicket off the 1st delivery bowled by Captain Kadar who went on to claim one down batsman Sumantha being clean bowled for a golden duck. So QALCO were 1 run for the loss of 2 wickets at the end of the 1st over. Shahid was caught by Babu off Parvez without scoring. Thereafter QALCO batsmen came under pressure and were 30 runs for the loss of 6 wickets at the end of 6 overs. Abbas trying to increase the momentum was stumped by Imran off Aftab for 13 runs with a six. The only other batsman to resist was Aftab who remained not out on 19 runs with 2 sixes while Pali was not out on 8 runs. Finally QALCO managed to reach only 64 runs for the loss of 10 wickets in the allotted 12 overs.

Kadar Claimed 2 wickets. Parvez, Nasseer, Rauf, Shakeel, Azwer, Babu, Shaji and Aftab took a wicket each.

Mangaluru, May 22: An elderly cardiac patient from Dakshina Kannada, who was stranded in Saudi Arabia due to covid-19 lock-down, has finally reached his homeland thanks to the timely intervention by Humanity Forum Jubail and Indian Social Forum.

The elderly man hailing from Kadaba area of Dakshina Kannada was admitted to a hospital in Madinah. However, his condition continued to worsen due to lack of proper treatment. The efforts by his family members to bring him back home had not yielded results.

Meanwhile, one of the relatives of the patient, Ansari Suratkal, who happens to be a DKSC activist, brought the issue to the notice of the Karnataka unit of the Indian Social Forum in Dammam. ISF contacted Humanity Forum president Zakariya Jokatte, who helped the patient to speak directly union minister D V Sadananda Gowda in a video conference organised by coastaldigest.com.

Humanity Forum also persuaded the Indian Embassy to allow the stranded cardiac patient to fly back to India through Dammam-Bengaluru repatriation flight on May 20. 

However, it was not easy for the patient to travel from Madinah to Dammam International Airport due to lock-down and curfew. ISF not only obtained travel permission for him but also arranged vehicle. Jeddah and Riyadh units of ISF helped in obtaining permission letter in their respective places in spite of travel ban imposed by the police. Madinah unit of ISF arranged vehicle for transportation. Zakariya Jokatte bore the air ticket and other expenses of the patient.
