Safe ba sa Oman?
Generally Omani Nationals are harmless, they are known to have a good attitude than their neighboring arab country like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. They are more approachable and very easy to be friends with.
So if you will ask me if "Safe ba sa Oman", I will definitely say YES. Although there are incident of abused from Omani nationals, whether it is physically or sexually this does not put a general concept of Omani Nationals to a bad side. In every places there will always be some bad guys. Just be careful on what you are doing and take extra pre-cautions wherever you are. And yes Safe sa Oman.

Colours of India
MUSCAT — Come August, and a slew of programmes will wow the Indian community in Oman. The occasion? India’s 63rd Independence Day. The Indian Embassy, Muscat, in association with Light & Shadow Enterprises LLC, has announced a series of events next month, under the theme Colours of Independence 2009.
“After successfully organising the August Festival at the Embassy of India last year, which included performances from artistes across the region and India, Light & Shadow once again intends to bring unique forms of entertainment to Oman,” said Akshay Chowdhary, director, Light & Shadow Enterprises LLC.
The first event, The Exotic Indian Science of Tarot Reading — An Interactive Session with Sunita Menon, is slated for August 2 at the Indian embassy auditorium. Clairvoyant, healer, counsellor, psychic, guide, philosopher and mentor, Menon is a renowned tarot card reader. So, have all your cards on the table for this event! If fashion is your forte, make a beeline for the Indian Rainbow fashion show, where ramp scorchers from India will showcase collections of Indian textiles and cuts from Sulokshana Monga and designer duo Kapil-Monika. The fashion show will be held at the Indian Embassy Lawns on August 11 and in Salalah on August 12.

Well, this time around, she will be back with a collection of paintings, titled, Indian Colours — Neeta Lulla’s Painting Exhibition. “Think of Neeta Lulla, and the first thing that comes to mind is fashion. But Neeta is also an artist, and her creative expressions on canvas will be there for all to see,” one of the organisers said.

Pacts worth RO47m inked for development projects
MUSCAT — Fifteen agreements to implement a number of projects in the municipalities and water resources sector, at a total cost of RO47,023,013, were signed by Abdullah bin Salim Al Rowas, minister of regional municipalities and water resources, in his office at the ministry yesterday.
The projects in the municipalities sector include designing and paving of a number of internal roads involving a total length of 41.8km. These include roads in Sharjat Fatma Shaqarqa’a, Hillat Al Sidafi, Hillat Al Qaham and Tiwi Said in the wilayat of Wadi bani Khalid, involving 2.5km, 3km and 4.5km respectively.
Internal roads in the wilayat of Al Mudhaibi, involving a total length of 27.7km, will also be paved. Another project aims at designing and constructing Rahab-Al Tiwi road in the wilayat of Liwa at a length of 4.10km.
Wastewater plants
The projects also include expansion of the treated water pipeline from the wastewater station in the wilayat of Saham to the main road (second phase), development and beautification of the business district at Al Bidayah in the wilayat of Al Suwaiq. They also include expansion of the treated water pipeline from the wastewater station in the wilayat of Saham to the main road (first phase), construction of a public park in the wilayat of Al Rustaq, construction of the wastewater station in the wilayat of Liwa and the wastewater network (second phase) in the wilayat of Saham.
The agreements related to water projects include construction of a dam to protect the populated areas from flood havoc at Al Amerat Heights in Muscat governorate. In addition to Al Amerat, the project will also protect Al Qurm trading area from major floods like the unusual weather condition that hit the Sultanate in June 2007. The project being constructed at Amerat Heights consists of a 3.5km-long major dam with 22-metre height, with two concrete and cemented fumes to drain the excess water from the 22-million cubic metre capacity dam. The first fume is 380-metre-long with a drainage capacity of 946 cubic metre per second, while the second 120-metre long fume has a drainage capacity of 364 cubic metre of water per second.
The project also includes four minor dams with lengths ranging from 50 to 2,754 metres and one to eight-metre height. It also includes construction of a 235-metre-long and 10-metre-high diversion dam, which is equipped with a 50-metre-long additional fume with a drainage capacity of 250 cubic metres per second.
In an effort to enhance the stock of underground water, two other recharge dams will also be constructed in the governorate of Al Buraimi. The two dams will contribute to enhancing the underground water reservoir and improve the water conditions in the villages located at the lower areas between the two dams. The project will also help in providing a degree of protection against flooding in the areas down the two dams. The project will also help in making better use of the rain and wadi water and prevent their loss in the desert.
The project will also develop the water resources, improve standards of living and promote tourism and economic sectors.
Wadi Masilik dam will be of 2,700-metre-long, nine-metre-high with 1.9 million cubic metre storage capacity. The water pool of the wadi will be 470,000 square km. Wadi Mahda dam will be of 2,150-metre-long, eight-metre-high with a storage capacity of 1.17 million cubic metre. The size of the water pool for the wadi is 560,000 square km. To control the flow of the water reserved at the lake, the dam will be provided with two 800mlm and 500mlm outlet to release the water.
Hydrology network
The project includes hydrology network to assess the performance and efficiency of the dams. Another project relates to establishment of a surface storage dam in Wadi Qatam, increasing the height of Wadi Saiq and Wadi bani Habib dams in Jabel Al Akhdar, and establishing other two surface storage dams in Wadi Al Qanfoor and Wadi Al Sugra in Jabel Al Akhdar. Underground feeding dams will also be constructed in Wadi Mseillek in the wilayat of Al Buraimi and Wadi Mahdha in the wilayat of Mahdha.
These dams will increase the availability of water resources in the area and help residents find safe and good quality water abundantly.
These dams will also bring security in the communities, reduce migration and prevent exposure to health risks resulting from lack of resources and poor water quality and improve their socio-economic conditions.
After signing the agreements, Sheikh Abdullah bin Salim Al Rowas said it was a pleasure that signing of these agreements coincided with the celebration to mark the 39th anniversary of the Renaissance Day under the wise leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said. The Sultanate has made a number of achievements that covered all walks of life.
Constant care
Sheikh Al Rowas affirmed that implementation of these projects for the good management and evaluation of water resources, especially the construction of different kinds of dams, was one of the issues for which His Majesty the Sultan attaches constant care.
Speaking to the media, Eng. Ali Al Abri, undersecretary for water resources issues at the ministry, said: “Out of the six agreements related to water resources signed by Abdullah bin Salim Al Rawas, the most significant one is the establishment of dams which will be useful in protecting people from the risk of floods in the governorate of Muscat. In fact, the ministry seeks to establish a number of other dams.”
“The construction of a number of dams in the governorate of Al Buraimi aims at strengthening the water situation and preventing further deterioration of the situation, especially during drought,” Al Abri added.
“Al Jabel Al Akhdar area is exclusively used for agricultural purposes and the ministry is attempting to maintain this individuality of the area by establishing dams to protect the water resources in the area,” he said. — With inputs from ONA

Sultanate tops stability index
WASHINGTON — The Sultanate has beaten other Arab and African countries to take the top place in the region on the global stability index, according to a report.
In fact, the Sultanate is the only country in the region to figure in the list of most stable countries in the world, US-based Foreign Policy Magazine reported in its latest issue.
The study, which covered 177 countries, was done in collaboration with the US-based Fund for Peace. Using 12 social, economic, political and military indicators of state cohesion and performance, compiled through a close examination of more than 30,000 publicly available sources, the study ranked 177 states in order from most to least at risk of failure.
Factors
The report has placed the Sultanate among some of the stable countries in Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Argentina, Japan and South Korea. While Norway — the best in terms of stability — came in 177th, the Sultanate was placed 146th with 47.2 points in the indices used including economic condition, public services,
population density, massive movements and migration, parity in education and job opportunities.
The report is another evidence of good international reputation of the Sultanate. It supports the policies of the government which aim at making the Sultanate one of the major international hubs.
The study, meanwhile, warns that the global recession is sparking fears that multiple states could slip all at once into the ranks of the failing states.
“Now more than ever, failed-state triage could become a grim necessity for world leaders
from the United Nations and World Bank to US President Barack Obama’s
White House,” the report said.

Poetry evening at Salalah Tourism Festival
SALALAH — Sayyida Sana bint Hamad Al Busaidi, director-general of the Directorate-General of Education for Muscat governorate, presided over a poetry evening organised by the Omani Women’s Association here yesterday.
The poetry evening was held at the Municipality Recreational Centre in celebration of the 39th anniversary of Renaissance Day as part of the activities of Salalah Tourism Festival 2009. A number of poets, including Asila Al Ma’amari and Sharifa Al Ameri, took part in the evening along with other participants. Meanwhile, the historical sites and landmarks in the governorate of Dhofar continued to attract a huge number of visitors and tourists.
Sheikh Salim bin Aufait Al Shanfari, chairman of Dhofar Municipality, and chairman of the organising committee of the festival said the festival had succeeded in focusing on the heritage to showcase the deep-rooted history of Oman. Meanwhile, Sheikh Salim bin Aufait Al Shanfari, chairman of Dhofar Municipality, has opened an Educational Pavilion as part of the Educational Forum in the presence of the director-general of education for Dhofar governorate and a number of officials at the government departments.
The Bedouin Tent at the festival reflects the rich heritage, traditions and the Omani hospitality, while the model of the country house at the Heritage Village depicts the life in the rural areas, crafts and arts.
The Old Souq at the Municipality Recreational Centre displays the various traditional handicrafts of the Omani woman in the governorate of Dhofar. An Educational Forum provided the participants an opportunity to present their experiments related to their occupational practices. The participation of international institutions and organisations showed the attention paid by the educational policy planners at the ministry for utilising the international experiments in upgrading the level of school achievement of students.

Meanwhile, the Transport and Communications Ministry is currently implementing construction and lighting of Salalah-Thumrait dual carriage road in Dhofar Governorate. The project aims at ensuring smooth traffic movement for road users to and from Dhofar governorate.
The project starts from Aqabat Hamarir and ends after Thumrait city. Fort per cent of the project has been completed, including asphalting of 47km till date. The 73-km-long project includes five tunnels at the main crossroad, a roundabout at the crossroad leading to Marmul. It also includes a 10-km-long service road as well as the lighting works for the dual carriage road. The road is provided with the traffic safety requirements, side protectors and water drainage facilities.
The project, which started on 14/2/2007, is due to be completed early in 2010. The project has a special importance as it connects Salalah city to Thumrait city. The road is one of the vital roads in Dhofar governorate as it will serve a large number of populations on the roadsides.
The road will also highlight tourism potential of the region during the Khareef season as well as facilitating the traffic movement in the governorate.
