    CM, Welcome to our second home in UAE.
    I have known KNRI through Naseer bhai since Sept 2016 when he helped us to claim the body of my Mama who unexpectedly died at Dubai airport in Emirates flight. Not knowing anything about Dubai government rules and procedures, my family was helpless. Naseer took initiative, personally ensuring that all documentation and procedures are followed. Without him it was not possible to survive in this unknown country. He is a selfless social worker.
    CM, this is a sincere request from me and my fellow Kannadigas and Indians to help Naseer to build KNRI to serve the society better.
    Thank you.
