INDIA'S INFRASTRUCTURE BONDS STINKING DUSTBIN- WHY SHOULD THEY NOT PLACE THE DIRT WHICH THEY SPONSER ON THE STREETS OF DELHI IN THEIR OWN CAPITAL?LOVE ONE'S OWN DOES NOT HOLD TRUE FOR DUBAI?VARISTRA NAGRIK MANORANJAN KENDRA! Dubai (English pronunciation: /duːˈbaɪ/ doo-BYE; Arabic: دبيّ dubayy‎) is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is located south of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula. Although Dubai's economy was originally built on the oil industry, by 2000 revenues from petroleum and natural gas contributed less than 10% of the emirate's US$ 16.4 billion economy in the same year.[7] Currently, the emirate's main revenues are from tourism, property, and financial services.[8][9] Property and construction contributed 22.6% to the economy in 2005, before the current large-scale construction boom.[10] Dubai's property market had experienced a major downturn in 2008/2009, as a result of the slowing worldwide economic climate.[11] Dubai has attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects[12] and sports events funded on the back of large natural gas and oil reserves.[13] This increased attention, coinciding with its emergence as a global city (ranking number 27 out of the 60 top global cities[14]) and business hubs, has highlighted labour and human rights issues concerning its largely South Asian workforce. Dubai and Ras al Khaimah are the only emirates that do not conform to the federal judicial system of the United Arab Emirates. The emirate's judicial courts comprise the Court of First Instance, the Court of Appeal, and the Court of Cassation. The Court of First Instance consists of the Civil court, which hears all civil claims; the Criminal Court, which hears claims originating from police complaints; and Sharia Court, which is responsible for matters between Muslims. Non-Muslims do not appear before the Sharia Court. The Court of Cassation is the supreme court of the emirate and hears disputes on matters of law only.[43] The Dubai Police Force, founded in 1956 in the locality of Naif, has law enforcement jurisdiction over the emirate; the force is under direct command of Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai. Dubai Municipality is also in charge of the city's sanitation and sewage infrastructure. The city's rapid growth has resulted in its limited sewage treatment infrastructures being stretched to its limits. Article 25 of the Constitution of the UAE provides for the equitable treatment of persons with regard to race, nationality, religious beliefs or social status. However, many of Dubai's 250,000 foreign laborers live in conditions described by Human Rights Watch as being "less than human."NPR reports that workers "typically live eight to a room, sending home a portion of their salary to their families, whom they don't see for years at a time." On 21 March 2006, workers at the construction site of Burj Khalifa, upset over bus timings and working conditions, rioted: damaging cars, offices, computers, and construction tools. The global financial crisis has caused the working class of Dubai to be especially hard hit, with many workers not being paid but also being unable to leave the country. Prostitution, though illegal by law, is conspicuously present in the emirate because of an economy that is largely based on tourism and trade. Research conducted by the American Center for International Policy Studies (AMCIPS) found that Russian and Ethiopian women are the most common prostitutes, as well as women from some African countries, while Indian prostitutes are part of a well organized trans-Oceanic prostitution network.[54] A 2007 PBS documentary entitled Dubai: Night Secrets reported that prostitution in clubs are tolerated by authorities and many foreign women work there without being coerced. Non-Muslim religious groups are permitted to openly advertise group functions; however, proselytizing or distributing religious literature is strictly prohibited under penalty of criminal prosecution, imprisonment, and deportation for engaging in behaviour offensive to Islam.IN INDIA THEY ARE ORGANIZING TOTAL POTTY RELIEF!
