United Arab Emirates (UAE) Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum issued an order over the weekend to rename Al Minhad district as Hind City
United Arab Emirates (UAE) Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, renamed the Al Minhad district on Sunday to Hind City, news agency ANI said in a report citing UAE’s state-run news agency WAM.
Hind City is divided into four zones which house residents of the UAE. It spans over an area of 83.9 km. “The city includes four zones-Hind 1, Hind 2, Hind 3, and Hind 4-and spans an area of 83.9km,” WAM said in its report.
Hind City is connected through key roadways such as Emirates Road, Dubai-Al Ain Road and Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road, ANI said in its report.
The renaming of Al Minhad and its neighbouring territories came after directions were issued by the ruler of Dubai.
