  "summary": "Sharjah's Supreme Council Member and Ruler, His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, has taken action to ease the burden on a father whose daughter is studying at the Sharjah Maritime Academy’s Khor Fakkan branch. After being alerted by the father of the student through a direct line program broadcasted by the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority, Sheikh Sultan immediately directed the provision of free transport for female students from Sharjah city. The transport will ensure the students are picked up from their families in Sharjah every Thursday and returned to the academy on Sunday, their weekly day off. The academy's administration is currently coordinating with the University City administration to finalize the details of the transport service.",
