opn edits — A NATURAL ECHO FOR SADHGURU’S ‘SAVE SOIL’ IN UAE: With Indian mystic, visionary and environment activist Sadhguru having reached UAE on his journey across 27 countries stretching from Europe to India, via the Middle East, for his ‘Save Soil’ mission, the focus is once again on the UAE as one of the standard-bearers in reducing carbon footprint and ensuring a cleaner and greener tomorrow for all its residents and visitors. On Wednesday and Thursday, Sadhguru had the opportunity to see and experience first-hand, the close bond that this country shares with all those who care for the universe and who are determined to stand by the cause of conservation and protection of nature. It is no wonder that UAE happens to be the 74th country to sign up for Sadhguru’s pledge to raise awareness among the citizens of the world about the need to preserve and protect the biodiversity of soil across lands and continents. From establishing the region’s first nuclear energy plant for generation of clean electricity to actively pursuing programmes for turtle rehabilitation to protecting its natural habitats and its wildlife population … this country has always played an exemplary role in conserving its flora and fauna in the best way it can. That is why, Sadhguru’s call for ‘Save Soil’ has found a natural echo in the UAE. [COMMENT BY: Sanjib Kumar Das, Assistant Editor] Image Credit: Stefan Lindeque/Gulf News

INDIA WHEAT — INDIA DOES THE RIGHT THING ON WHEAT FOR UAE: India will be making sufficient supplies of what coming over to the UAE despite the ban it had placed on all exports of the food staple – that’s the feedback from major foodstuff importers and supermarket operators here. If this is the case, then India has taken the right course, by ensuring ready supplies to a nation with which it has just entered an all-encompassing trade and economic deal under ‘CEPA’. And CEPA isn’t about just aiming for a $100 billion in bilaterial trade volumes in five years. It is about finding ways to overcome – or circumvent – issues common to both countries and arriving at the most favourable outcomes. Releasing wheat for shipments to the UAE at this moment in time will be one such outcome. [COMMENT BY: Manoj Nair, Business Editor] Image Credit: Reuters
