Teary eyed final goodbye to Kerala couple who died in fire at Dubai

[ad_1]
Kochi: On Monday, all roads led to the uncompleted house at Vengara in Malappuram of a couple who died in a massive fire that broke out in a residential building in Dubai killing 16 people, on Saturday.
When the fire broke out the couple was busy preparing a feast for their friends who were observing the Ramzan fast.
Their bodies arrived here in the wee hours of Monday and were brought to their soon to be completed house at Vengara, which they were getting ready to live in from June.

Rijesh Kalangadan, 38 was working in a travel agency in Dubai, while his wife Jeshi Kandamangalath, 32 was a teacher at a local school in Dubai.
Since morning hundreds of local residents filed past the bodies with tears in their eyes.
“Rijesh was a great soul and was at the forefront of helping people here whenever anyone needed help. He was a very nice human being and we are all heartbroken and have nothing more to say,” said a close friend of Rijesh.
Sixteen people were killed and nine injured in the blaze in the Al Ras area, which Dubai Civil Defence attributed to a lack of compliance with building security and safety requirements.
The fire broke out on the fourth floor of the building on Saturday at 12.35 p.m. and soon spread to other areas.

Dubai fire: Indian couple who died were preparing iftar for neighbours

[ad_1]
Abu Dhabi: An Indian couple who died in a massive fire that broke out at a residential building in Dubai killing 16 people, was preparing an iftar meal for their neighbours, according to a media report.
38-year-old Rijesh Kalangadan, and his wife Jeshi 32-year-old Kandamangalath, were preparing Vishu sadhya, a festival meal, for their neighbours to end their fast on Saturday evening, the Gulf News reported.
At least 16 people were killed and nine others injured in the blaze in Al Ras area, which Dubai Civil Defence attributed to a lack of compliance with building security and safety requirements.

Hailing from Kerala, Kalangadan worked as a business development manager with a travel and tourism company, and his wife Kandamangalath was a schoolteacher.
According to Gulf News, the couple had invited their Muslim neighbours, a group of bachelors from Kerala, for an iftar meal.
“They had invited us during Onam and Vishu lunches earlier also. This time, they told us to come for iftar as it is Ramzan,” Riyas Kaikambam, who lived with seven roommates in apartment number 409, said.
The couple lived in 406 — adjacent to flat 405 where the fire started.
Calling them a “friendly couple”, Kaikambam said he last saw them outside their apartment.

“I could see the teacher was crying,” he recalled.
“There was no response to calls later. I could see Rijesh’s last seen status on WhatsApp at 12.35 p.m. I just can’t believe the man who helped me book my flight ticket, the man who invited me for iftar, is gone,” he said.
The couple was scheduled to fly home for the house-warming of their home next month, a family member from Kerala told Gulf News.
The fire broke out on fourth floor of the building on Saturday at 12.35 p.m. and soon spread to other areas.
Dubai Civil Defence Operations Room was informed about the inferno after which fire engines were rushed to the spot.
The fire was controlled around 2.42 p.m.
The building has been sealed for safety reasons.

About golden visa
The Golden Visa was first launched by the UAE government in 2019. It is a long-term residency visa designed to attract foreign talent to live, work or study in the UAE while enjoying a range of exclusive benefits.
These benefits include a six-month entry visa with multiple entries to facilitate the issuance of residency, a long-term and renewable residency visa valid for five or 10 years, the luxury of not requiring a sponsor, and the ability to stay outside the UAE for longer than the standard six-month period without affecting your the validity of their residence visa.
Furthermore, the golden visa allows its holders to sponsor family members, including spouses and children of any age, as well as an unlimited number of domestic helpers.
In the event of the death of the primary holder of the golden visa, the family members are permitted to remain in the UAE until the end of the term of their permit.

Dubai car number plate ‘P7’ sold for record Dh 55 million

[ad_1]
Dubai: The vehicle number plate P7 was sold for a record Dh55M at the ‘Most Noble Numbers’ auction in Dubai.
Starting at a bid of Dh15 million in the action on Saturday night, the bids rose within seconds to over Dh30 million. The bid stagnated for several minutes at Dh35 million which was bid by Pavel Valeryevich Durov, the French-Emirati businessman, the founder and owner of the app Telegram.
The price rose quickly until it reached the amount of Dh55 million (INR1,226,144,700) by bid panel seven who wished to remain anonymous. The crowd cheered and applauded as each bid was placed.

Many other VIP number plates and phone numbers were auctioned at the same time and the auction process raised nearly Dh100 million ($27 million) for a Ramzan food appeal. In total, Dh97,920,000 ($26662313) was raised from the sale of car plates and exclusive mobile phone numbers at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jumeirah.
The event was organised by Emirates Auction, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority, Etisalat and Du.
‘P 7’ topped the list after a bidding war between several people who wanted to break the existing record set in 2008, when a businessman paid Dh52.2 million for Abu Dhabi’s number 1 plate.
All proceeds from the noblest numbers auction will go to the One Billion Meals campaign, which was launched to boost efforts to combat global hunger. The One Billion Meals Endowment was launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, in line with the generous spirit of Ramzan.
