Youth from Nandavar meets tragic end in Saudi Arabia

August 15, 2013

Bantwal, Aug 15: A youth hailing from Nandavara in Bantwal taluk died in a road mishap in Saudi Arabia.

The deceased has been identified as Mohammad Irshad (23), son of Abdul Hameed, residing near Nandavar school.

On August 5, Irshaad, a driver with a transport company had gone on duty in a goods carrier. However, since then Irshad had been missing. Since the company too remained closed due to Ramadan, all efforts of the family members of Irshad to know where he was went futile.

On Monday, after the Ramdan holidays were over and once the company was re-opened, the company received a fax with regard to one of the vehicles belonging to the company having met with an accident. When the company representatives visited the accident spot, the matter came to light.

It is said that Irshad's vehicle collided with another vehicle head on and the mishap rendered both the drivers dead. The driver of the other vehicle was a Syrian citizen.

Abdul Hameed had been employed in the Gulf for about 35 years. He has four sons and Irshad was the eldest. Irshad had come to the Gulf seeking employment three years ago. About a year ago he had shifted to Saudi Arabia from Doha, the capital of Qatar.

Irshad was supposed to come to Nandavar to attend his uncle's wedding next month.
