Dubai, Dubai's Burj Al Arab finds a doppelganger in Punjab

Phagwara, May 02 (ANI): A home owner has built a miniature replica of Dubai's famous Burj Al Arab in Punjab. Called Burj Ali, the mini Burj Al Arab of India is located in Phagwara village of Kapurthala district of the state. It is a three-storied rural luxurious farmhouse, where people from the nearby villages, especially from NRI belt, come to savour the food and feel the milieu of Dubai. Although the building exists for quite some time, but it has only recently drawn attention after its images hit social media platforms. The patrons also come here for its reasonable rates. The place has also drawn attention of Dubai's Jumeirah Group, the owner of Burj Al Arab. Reports were rife that it plans to initiate legal action against the Indian home-owner for not seeking its approval before the house was built. Rajinder Kumar, the owner of the farmhouse, who has never been to Dubai himself, said that he had a triangular-shaped land and wanted to use that property.
