THE Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) said yesterday that Bangladeshis in Bahrain are still required to register, despite their work permits not being renewed following the ban.

“While fresh work permits and renewals have been banned, there is no reason why they should not come and get themselves registered and fingerprinted,” LMRA chief executive Ali Radhi told the GDN.

“The decision has been taken in the interest of the security situation in the country.

“There is no reason why those Bangladeshis in Bahrain, who are legal and staying in the country, should be afraid.

“They should continue to come to the LMRA registration centres. They have nothing to fear.

“I assure them they will not be targeted in any way and they will be safe,” he said.
