Sullia man wins Rs. 23 crores in Abu Dhabi raffle draw
Abu Dhabi: Mohammed Fayaz J A, a 24-year old man hailing from Sullia in Karnataka received the biggest surprise of his life when he received a phone call from UAE declaring him as the winner of 12 Million AED raffle draw (INR 23.16 crores).
Interestingly, Fayaz has never been to UAE and works as an accountant in a private firm in Mumbai. He reportedly bought the ticket of the raffle draw online from Mumbai.
"It’s my roommate who gave me the idea to buy Big Ticket. I couldn't buy for two months as the deadline was over. But this time, I bought it just in time, the last day of September. I am really a lucky winner. I checked online to verify. Last night, I had a dream that I would win this. I told my friend that something great is happening soon," Khaleej Times quoted Fayaz as saying.
"Both my parents passed away because of kidney diseases. My father had worked for a long time in Saudi Arabia. He fought kidney failures for more than 12 years. We had seen both my parents in pain for long. We children are still recovering from the shock of our parents being no longer with us. I have a younger sister. My elder sister is married. Also we sold a part of our land to build a house. But that is pending now. I want to reclaim the land we had to sell. I will look to finish construction work of our home soon. I will also do some charity work. I have never been to the UAE. Now I will be there next month to receive the cheque." Fayaz said.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
