Amidst heavy rains and flooding authorities encouraged people to work from home and in dire situations use public transport especially Dubai Metro instead of private vehicles for their safety.
The Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai also gave similar instructions to people due to water ponds and flooding in different parts of the emirate. Dubai Airports also asked passengers to use Dubai Metro to reach Dubai International (DXB).
Many Dubai residents listened to the authorities’ call to use the Dubai Metro on Tuesday. One of them was Dubai-based billionaire, Danube Group’s founder, and chairman, Rizwan Sajan.
“I came by the metro and I strongly recommend anybody who wishes to come to the office to take metro because it’s much easier and faster,” Sajan said in a message on his Instagram account.
“When you have the will, you will always find a way to make it happen. I went to the office by metro due to heavy rain,” said the billionaire.
Rizwan Sajan has been the chief architect behind the success of Danube Group. Danube Group’s real estate subsidiary Danube Properties last year launched over Dh10 billion ($2.7 billion) worth of projects in Dubai alone.
The founder of Danube Group is also popularly known as “Dubai’s 1% Man” for being the first developer to launch a one per cent payment plan for property buyers in Dubai.
People appreciated the billionaire’s gesture as his travelling video had gathered more than 5,700 likes in the just few hours after it was published on Instagram. He is also a well-known social media influencer with around 550k followers.
