Saudi government is looking for the family of this woman in Bengaluru
What did this woman do in Saudi 100 years ago?
Bengaluru: Would not it be surprising if a woman donor from Bangalore had set up a girls' school in Mecca, Saudi Arabia about a hundred years ago? But this is true.
Even Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy was surprised when Saudi Arabia's Ambassador in India Saud Mohammad Al-Sati informed this matter to the CM. The Ambassadors said that the Saudi government wanted to honor the family members of Saulatunnisa, who established the school in Mecca.
State Haj Committee Chairman and former Minister Roshan Baig said that the state government would try to find out the family of SaulatUnnisa.
"These days, Haj or Umrah pilgrims can reach their destination in only five and a half hours. However, earlier, it used to take 15 days to reach Mecca from Bombay through ship. In those days this woman has contributed. It is really appreciable, " Baig added.

Saudi Arabia announces first day of Eid-ul-Fitr; Details here
Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has announced that Eid-ul-Fitr will be observed on March 20 after the Shawwal crescent moon was not sighted.
The moon-sighting committee met and confirmed that the new moon was not visible, leading to the completion of 30 days of Ramzan before the festival. The announcement follows the traditional practice of determining Islamic months based on lunar sighting.
Earlier, the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development had declared that Eid holidays for employees in the private and non-profit sectors would begin from the evening of March 18 and continue for four days, in line with labour regulations.
Ministry spokesperson Mohammed Al Ruzaiqi had said the early announcement was made to help organisations plan work schedules while ensuring employees are able to observe the festival break.
