The administration of Dubai said on Monday that it had inked an agreement to improve infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir, at a time when the region is experiencing a revival of violence. The value of the agreement was not specified.

 

Following the abolition of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and separation of the state into two Union Territories, Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, has signed the region’s first investment deal.

 

Dubai would create infrastructure such as industrial parks, IT towers, multi-purpose buildings, logistics centers, a medical college, and a specialty hospital, according to the government.

Bidhannagar police have been preventing tourists from entering the city’s most-hyped Durga Puja pandal since the early hours of Friday, unable to stop the surge of revelers. At Sreebhumi in Lake Town, the pandal is a duplicate of Dubai’s famed tower Burj Khalifa.

 

The announcement came on the same day that the number of new Covid positive cases in Kolkata surpassed 200 for the first time in over four months. The fundamental cause of the soaring Covid-19 numbers in the city, according to doctors, is the irresponsible rush of revelers during Puja pandals.

Officials stated at least three workers were killed and another 70 were badly wounded while working on the Dubai Expo 2020 site while claiming that safety measures were “world-class.” According to the Associated Press, this is the first instance the Dubai Expo has released information on worker fatalities during the mammoth world’s fair’s development.

The organizers initially stated that five employees had been killed, but subsequently issued a statement calling the prior count an “error.”

The figures were revealed after the European Parliament criticized the UAE’s record on human rights and “inhumane” treatment of immigrant workpeople, calling for a boycott of the six-month-long international exhibition.

According to Dubai-based low-cost carrier fly Dubai, Indian people will now be able to visit the UAE on tourist visas if they have not visited India in the previous 14 days. All other pandemic time regulations must be followed by the guests.

After placing travel restrictions on Indians in April-end, at the height of the deadly second Covid outbreak, the UAE has been gradually opening up to Indians. It has been steadily permitting more categories of visitors from India in recent weeks. Visitors should verify the latest requirements before planning a trip these days, as admission rules change regularly during Covid.
