Safety campaign needed at schools
Safety campaign needed at schools
Schools have opened after the long summer and Eid holiday break.
As there are now many new residents in the country, it is important to start traffic safety campaigns so everyone is aware of the dos and don’ts – especially mothers who are dropping off and picking up their children.
I have found that many of these drivers are not wearing seat belts.
Why not introduce a campaign where the road-safety checks are made by female police officers?
I feel they will be more effective when it comes to imparting knowledge to women and children about the dangers of not following traffic rules and regulations.
It will also give added prominence and recognition to the female members of the country’s police forces.

Noble path
The Holy Month of Ramadan is here now.
Incidentally, this year it has the longest duration of daytime added to it. I congratulate all those who observe the rituals of this divine month.
Along with some friends, I am doing my bit to help those who are in need during this month.
We have convinced those who conduct Iftar parties in our circle to reduce the quantity of food display and utilise the spare amount generated to provide Iftar to those in need. If about 100 members from our company participate in an official Iftar, we cut costs and make sure to feed 100 poor people for an Iftar.
Those at the top and friends have appreciated the idea and we are proceeding with it.
The feeling within is immense happiness brightened by the glowing face of those who receive it.
The joy of sharing has to be experienced at least during the Holy Month.
