DUBAI // A Dh12.96 million project to build mosques, a health clinic, nursery, kindergartens and schools, parks and homes in Al Riq in Dibba Al Hosn has been approved by the Executive Council of Sharjah.
Chaired by Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, the council was shown the results of a topographic survey, general plans and land plot designs and differences in ground levels in the soil, reaching up to 30 metres.
Eng Ali Bin Shaheen Al Suwaidi said following the approval of the total cost of the project, the Public Works Department will begin ground levelling works in Al Riq residential area. The project will cover 2.238 million square metres. Ground levelling works are planned to be completed during the second semester of 2015.

Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
