As an old resident of Jubail I know Fayaz Bhai (Owner of Irwa Text) since long time. He is of great nature, soft spoken and nice personality. May Allah rest his soul in peace and give courage to his family to pass this difficult time. Ameen...

As a long resident of Jubail, the news of Fayaz Bhai's demise has shocked and I am sure it would shock many more like me. I know Fayaz Bhai (owner of IRWA Ready Made Garment Shop located in Jubail) since many years. He is of great character and soft spoken personality. May Allah rest his and his daughter's soul in peace and give courage to family members specially to his wife and kids to pass this difficult time...Ameen

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji oon.

Saudi has to plan for train facilities for long distance trips.
Driving more than 1200 kms @ speed 120 - 140 and without proper place to rest is not at all easy. this is serious issue. thousands die in road accidents, long drive, accident due to sleepy drivers. some urgent and reckless drivers causing accidents. installing cameras and earning money on speed cars by traffic dept isn't enough. there should be a plan to stop such risky drivings.

train service can save 90% of lives which lost in road accidents in Saudi. Still Saudi isn't caring on this issue. may be they will plan after 25 years same like what they did in case of metro train.

Kalaburagi, Mar 5: Kalaburagi Police has issued a second notice to AIMIM leader Waris Pathan, for his controversial remark, directing him to appear before the Investigation Officer on March 8 and give his statement.

Earlier, Kalaburagi Police Commissioner MM Nagaraj said that the police had served notice to Pathan and asked him to appear on February 29 before Investigation Officer.

On February 20, while addressing an anti-CAA rally at Kalaburagi, Pathan had said, "time has now come for us to unite and achieve freedom. Remember we are 15 crore but can dominate over 100 crores."

However, Pathan later took back his words and had said he had not targeted any community but had spoken against members of some organisations.

"If any of my words have hurt someone, I take them back as I am a true Indian," he had said.
