Doha: Bengaluru hall in ICC premises inaugurated


Media Release (GA)

Doha, Apr 1: The inauguration of the newly-renovated Hall in the Indian Cultural Centre (ICC) premises which was named Bengaluru Hall was held recently. The Bengaluru Hall was jointly inaugurated by ICC president Tarun Basu and Karnataka Muslim Cultural Association (KMCA) president Niyaz Ahmed.

ICC already has 5 other halls, named after prominent Indian cities Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Cochin along with the large Ashoka Hall. So Bengaluru Hall which has been named after the capital city of Karnataka will be the 6th hall in the ICC premises. While Ashoka hall is the largest among the others within the ICC premises, newly-inaugurated Bengaluru hall now becomes the Joint second largest hall along with Mumbai Hall.

Addressing the gathering ICC president Tarun Basu praised the efforts put in by KMCA under the energetic leadership of Niyaz Ahmed. He also requested other ICC-affiliated Associations to come forward to support ICC in the coming days. A plaque of appreciation was given to KMCA recognising its valuable contribution towards the renovation of the hall. Speaking on the occasion KMCA president Niyaz Ahmed, thanked ICC for giving them the opportunity and assured complete support to ICC even in the coming days.

ICC general secretary Shinu Pillai, advisory panel chairman K M Varghese and management committee members, KMCA vice-president Saquib Raza Khan, general secretary Ibraiz Khan, former president and advisor Ahmed Saad Assadi, Irfan Shariff adn Fayaz Khan were also present on the occasion.

Speaking to Daijiworld Deepak Shetty, president of Karnataka Sangha Qatar, expressed his happiness and thanked ICC Management for accepting KSQ’s (the official body of Kannadigas living in Qatar),  long –standing demand of naming one of the Halls,  after capital of Karnataka , Bengaluru. It is KSQ which had made this request first time 3 years ago with the previous management. The present ICC management led by Tarun Basu agreed to their proposal after official request was again submitted to ICC on September 19, 2013. Deepak Shetty congratulated KMCA for completing the task, which has made all Kannadigas proud.

    Great job Mr.Niyaz and energetic KMCA team.
    This was the dream of many expat Kannadiga's in Qatar which materialized finally by KMCA.

    As said by many columnist below, there is a lot of difference between "talking, but doing nothing and doing without talking". So, the real spirit of social service has been seen through your sincere effort.
    Wish you and team KMCA all the best.

    In continuation to my previous comment one more thing I would like to add. Other organizations must learn from KMCA to concentrate more on social work than entertainment / stage shows.
    Money should be used for needy cause or expat people in Qatar.

    Hearty congratulations to KMCA/Niyaz Ahmed & Mr. Tarun Bau for keeping the name of the hall “BENGALURU”. We esteemed the open call to other associations to come forward to support the ICC in future days. You have done a great job with the great efforts, instead only requesting again and again to keep the name Bengaluru. Where there is a will there is a way. Mr Niyaz President of KMCA you have proven this statement once again. Once again, kudos to you and your entire team.

    By this article I understand that KMCA has uted the renovation works, and then only a new Bengaluru hall has come into existence. Without a hall requesting is of no use. Well-done KMCA, the credit goes to your team. This is a proud moment for all Kannadigas. Forget the internal clashes and say jai Karnataka.
