The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) has taken legal action against a number of illegal workers and establishments.

The clampdown followed a joint inspection campaign in the Southern Governorate in coordination with the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs at the Ministry of Interior and the Southern Governorate Police Directorate.

The campaign resulted in issuing several offenses related to violations of LMRA and Immigration laws and a number of arrests were made.

The LMRA stressed its commitment to report violations through the implementation of an intensive and continuous work plan in different governorates, in cooperation with relevant entities.

It noted the important role of the community in supporting government efforts, calling on the public to report any complaints related to violations of the labour market and irregular employment, by contacting the Authority’s call center 17506055.
