    At the outset, let me congratulate all the efforts of ICRF and benevolent attitude of New India. Special vote of thanks to Mr. Shetty for taking this bold step.
    Let Indian community in the Gulg region take a leaf from this step and work for lowly paid brothern.
    May God bless all those hearts which beat more at these thoughts.
