Police and security forces all across the world are known to provide various humanitarian services as and when the situation so demands, rising way beyond their immediate job brief. But this incident at Dubai International Airport is rare even by such standards, revealing yet again the extent to which security forces in this country are ready to stretch themselves when a soul in distress needs a helping hand. This remarkable outreach by Dubai Police tugs at one’s heartstrings all the more because the pregnant woman in question was travelling with three minor children and there was no other family member or friend or acquaintance near at hand to help her. Given such a scenario, what the Dubai Police personnel did was no less than what a family member or a friend would have done – proving yet again the truth behind the adage: ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed.’[COMMENT BY: Sanjib Kumar Das, Assistant Editor] Image Credit: Supplied

STOCK Credit card — WATCH THOSE COSTS - DON’T LET THEM PILE UP: From credit card bills to loan and mortgage payments, UAE residents will find that their monthly outgo is adding up to quite an amount. More substantial than anything they have experienced in the last two years, even longer. Add in the fuel bills, and one needs to balance all those expenses adroitly. Because this is not going to be a one-off; in the last two months, there have been two increases in rates and more are on their way, courtesy of the US Federal Reserve’s decisions to try and tame the inflation genie. Not just governments and businesses, individuals everywhere have to keep balancing those books. Don’t let up in this exercise. [COMMENT BY: Manoj Nair, Business Editor] Image Credit: Shutterstock
