The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) conducted five joint inspection campaigns with the relevant government entities. The campaigns resulted in reporting violations related to the Labour Market, Residency Laws and others. The cases were referred for legal action.

The inspection campaigns included visits to a number of shops and work sites, to determine the extent of compliance with laws and regulations in order to preserve the competitiveness, stability, and productivity of the labour Market.

LMRA stated that two joint inspection campaigns were carried out in the Capital and Muharraq Governorates in coordination with the Nationality, Passports and Residency Affairs (NPRA) and the Police Directorates.

It added that another two campaigns were conducted in partnership with the Sentence Enforcement Department in both Capital and Northern Governorates, while the fifth campaign was held in the Southern Governorate in coordination with Ministry of Labour (MOL).

LMRA 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.gov.bh or by calling the authority’s call centre on 17506055.
