All services related to the procedures for dispatching the bodies of people dying in Qatar to their home countries will now be available under one roof.

A unified Humanitarian Services Office for completing the procedures for dispatching dead bodies outside Qatar will be officially opened on Sunday, the Ministry of Interior said.

Staff Maj. General Saad bin Jassim Al Khulaifi, Director-General, Public Security, will open the office at 9am, in the presence of senior officials from the Ministry of Public Health and Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC).

The office behind Hamad General Hospital mortuary and close to Ritaj hotel behind the H R Department of HMC, will offer all services related to dispatching bodies outside Qatar and procedures for burial in Qatar.

People will no more be required to approach various departments of the Ministry of Interior, HMC and the Ministry of Public Health in various places for completing the procedures, said a ministry statement.

Services of the new office would be extremely beneficial for the expatriate communities in Qatar.

Omar Khayyam was all praises for wine. Seems Accha is a devout follower.

Accha, SUPER , Thes 4 lines tell us mountain of the reality .............. Great Soul ..............

But it will a gross waste of time to teach WT about the meaning of this poem ...........

No body { including WT } would ever be proud after seeing his future short time halt inside a LOCKER ........... Where he won't be able to log in QL write words which are objectionable to us.

Even Muad will also be shocked !!

Each and every good step taken by the authorities here pricks the eyes of WT. If he does not find flaws in the system or new rules being implemented for the benefit of the masses here, he stretches his neck to find mistakes in the incorrect usage of word or words in a post. Just yesterday, he picked up the word "seize" from a post and laboured hard to prove it was a wrong word used in order to have the opportunity to ridicule somebody. However, he landed up with a bloody nose when it was pointed out to him the word had been correctly used. Today, his folly has come out in full colour when he asks, "Are they coming here to die?" Possibly, he is still yet too immature to know that life and death are in the hands of the Almighty God whether WT accepts God's existence or not. No one dies of his own free will, or at the place of his choice. As the famous poet Omar Khayyam said:

"The moving finger writes; and having writ,

Moves on: Nor all thy Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

Why would it be extremely beneficial for the expatriates? Are they coming here to die? I thought they were coming here to work.
