The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) and the Ministry of Interior continue joint efforts to intensify inspection campaigns against illegal practices in the Labour Market, in order to preserve a competitive, fair and stable labour market.

LMRA conducted three joint inspection campaigns, the first was in the Northern Governorate in coordination with the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) and the Governorate’s respective Police Directorate. The other campaign was undertaken in the Capital Governorate in coordination with the Sentence Enforcement Directorate and the General Directorate of Crime Detection and Forensic Evidence of the Ministry of Interior.

LMRA also conducted a joint campaign in the Muharraq Governorate in coordination with the General Directorate of Crime Detection and Forensic Evidence of the Ministry of Interior.

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

The Labour Market Regulatory Authority renewed its call on 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 centre on 17506055.
