Sad to hear about the passing of Ch #RamojiRao. He led the Ramoji Group, overseeing a diverse portfolio of assets, including the world-renowned @Ramoji_FilmCity, the largest film production facility globally. His media empire also encompassed the influential Eenadu newspaper, the ETV Network of television channels, and the renowned film production company Usha Kiran Movies. Meeting Mr. Rao some years back was a profound experience that I will always cherish.

On this International Workers' Day, let’s honor the contributions of every worker, in every part of the world—working across all levels. A big thanks to the millions of smallholder farmers and all involved in the food value chain for their critical role in bringing food to our tables. Also, a big shout-out to all blue-collar workers who tirelessly contribute to the development of our homes, societies, and countries.

نحمد الله على نعمته وفضله بسلامة الجميع في دولة الإمارات نتيجة الحالة الجوية الاستثنائية التي مررنا بها … بلادنا في خير وسلامة بمتابعة وحرص وقيادة أخي رئيس الدولة حفظه الله .. وبجهود الفرق المخلصة من مواطنين ومقيمين التي تواصل الليل بالنهار ..

الأزمات تظهر معادن الدول والمجتمعات … والأزمة المناخية الطبيعية التي مررنا بها أظهرت حرصاً ووعياً وتماسكاً وحباً كبيراً لكل ركن من أركان الدولة من جميع المواطنين والمقيمين فيها .. حفظ الله دولة الإمارات ومجتمعها وأدام مجدها وعزها وسلامتها.

The Government of #Dubai has extended remote working for employees of all its entities until Wednesday, April 17, due to weather conditions. Private schools in Dubai have also been directed to continue remote learning tomorrow. Private sector entities are urged to adopt remote working tomorrow and take all measures necessary to ensure everyone’s safety.
