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

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

The campaigns resulted in reporting several violations related to the Labour Market and Residency laws. The reported cases were referred for legal action.

LMRA stressed its commitment to report violations through an intensive inspection plan, in coordination with the relevant government entities. It renewed its call to all members of the society to support the efforts of government agencies in addressing illegal labour practices, by reporting violations via the electronic form on the authority’s website www.lmra.bh or by calling the authority’s call center on 17506055.
