The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) conducted two inspection campaigns on a number of shops, work sites and labours gathering places.

LMRA noted that a joint inspection campaign conducted in the Capital Governorate in coordination with the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) and the Governorate’s respective Police Directorate, and an inspection campaign in the Muharraq Governorates conducted by LMRA’s Enforcement Sector.
