Indian Social Club Malayalam Wing Cultural Programme Coordinator Resigns

 

KM Correspondent, Muscat.

 

The Cultural Programme Coordinator of Indian Social Club (Malayalam Wing), Muscat Suresh B Nair has tendered his resignation to the ISC M Managing Committee. Even though it was a collective responsibility of the Managing Committee, he has accepted full moral responsibility for missing out the name of Sruthi R.Bhadran, a young talented member of the Social Club, while giving prizes to various participants in Cultural Programmes. Suresh B. Nair, a well known artist in Muscat, has convinced the committee that the problem occured on January 3, 2002 because he forgot to include the names of a number of children including Sruthi from the list. He has also accepted responsibility for some other issues which cropped up during the recent cultural events.

 

Suresh B Nair has been a gentleman and artist who has proved his abilities beyond doubt. He has won several prestigous prizes from various places including the best actor award from the Kerala University. His bold decision to resign from a prestigious position should be an eye opener to social workers in other fields. Even though he has been apparently singled out by the ISC M Management Committee, his resignation is not yet accepted by the MC, a body which has a collective responsibility to all the members.

Jeddaha: Saudi Police have arrested four expatriate workers last Friday for digging out a female deadbody from a public graveyeard in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The four expatriates were arrested when they were digging out a woman's body two months after her burial in Jeddah's Faisaliah cemetery. According to the Arabic Newspaper Okaz the four claimed that they were shifting the body to a new grave. One of them said the woman was his mother.

 

Arab News, the leading Saudi Newspaper has said quoting Saeed Ali Al-Maliky, a Saudi, who had gone to the cemetery with his brother Saad to visit their parents' graves. The Saudi brothers reported the suspicious activity of the expatriate to the police. The newspaper identified the four as Ibrahim Muhammad Mousa, Abdullah, Jamaluddin Ibrahim and Abdu Shafi, who worked as a guard at the graveyard. According to the Saudi Police, an investigation is under way.

 

It is not known whether the criminals were part of a Gulf based crime Syndicate which deals with human bodies. In some of the medical colleges and Universities in the Middle East, getting human bodies for examination and medical studies is very difficult. Many of the hospitals are said to be importing human bodies and body parts at a very high price from abroad. Human bodies and body parts are normally brought to the Gulf from some of the European countries. Preserving deadbodies of local people is not allowed as per the relgious rules existing in the region. Only the full investigation by the Saudi police will reveal the truth.
