Kota, RAJASHTAN / Mumbai, MAHARASHTRA :
The 44-year-old Murtaza A Hamid, a Mumbai based businessman has offered to donate Rs 110 crore from his taxable income to the PM’s National Relief Fund which gets spent on the welfare of the families of the Pulwama martyrs.
The businessman Hamid, who hails from Kota sent an email and sought an appointment to PM Modi in this regard. Visually impaired by birth, Hamid had graduated from Government Commerce College, Kota and is currently working as a scientist and researcher in Mumbai.
Speaking to TOI over phone Hamid told what inspired him to donate, “The inspiration to help and support those who lay down their lives for our motherland should be in the blood of every citizen of the country.”
Hamid also said that he regrets that if the government had recognised his scientific innovation timely, the incident like Pulwama could have been averted. He claimed that he innovated ‘Fuel Burn Radiation Technology’ which helps to trace and to locate any vehicle or object without GPS, camera or any other technical machinery.
He also claimed that he had proposed to government and offered his innovation free of cost to NHAI in September 2016, but he received the approval two years later in October 2018 and there has been no further development ever since.
