Dear Members,

There are two messages from our Embassy :

1. Visit of Overseas Indian Affairs Minister (Click for details)
2. Amnesty for Invalid visa / residence holders in Kuwait (Click for details)

If our members want to give any representation to Hon. Minister on any common issues, they may mail the issues to tks_Kuwait@yahoo.co.uk so that a common represenation can presented on behalf of TKS.

Regarding the second issue of Amnesty, I am sure all our members have valid documents. However it is possible that some of our friends or some Telugu people known to you may be having some related problems. Members are requested to pass on the message to friends so that the opportunity can utilized by them.

Your active interest in both the issues is highly appreciated.
Regards
Dr.D.Veeranna

Report on picnic in desert camp at Ahmadi on 14^th Nov. 2004.

Dear Members,

We thank you very much for your active and enthusiastic participation in the picnic on 14^th Nov., 2004 at desert camp at Ahmadi. The program went very well as per schedule up to noon. All children’s events and some of ladies events were successfully completed. Members were in very joyous mood enjoying the desert camp with complete independence unlike parks.  Members were enjoying this new experience. Suddenly in the afternoon, some unfortunate minor incident took place. It did not stop there. It slowly started exploding into a major problem. It is extremely unfortunate that some of our members were injured in the altercation that took place. We should be extremely grateful to Mr.Surya Rao, Mr.Bhaskar Reddy and Mr.Eshwar Naidu who put the interest of TKS members above their personal interest and safeguarded the members. We contacted Indian Embassy for help. Even though it was not of much use, the very positive response from the Embassy was very much appreciated. It was great moral support to us. With the help of some well-wishers, the situation was brought under control, but the atmosphere was tense. Consider safety and over all sentiment of the members and all other factors, the program was concluded at about 3.30 PM. However the executive committee had to stay back until 5.00PM to wind up the camp. The executive committee regrets the inconvenience caused to the members. It feels extremely sorry for the minor injuries to Mr.Surya Rao, Mr.Bhaskar Reddy and Mr.Eshwar Naidu. It is extremely grateful the Indian Embassy for the positive response to the situation. Members may be pleased to note that the injured members were treated for the minor injuries by.Dr.Sudhir. 

The Executive Committee thanks the following members who conducted various games..

1. Mr.Basappa,
2. Mr.Murali Manohar
3. Mrs.Niveditha
4. Mrs.Seshikiran
5. Mrs.Yamini
