The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) conducted three joint inspection campaigns in the Capital Governorate and the Southern Governorate on a number of shops and work sites.

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

LMRA noted that two joint inspection campaigns were conducted in the Capital Governorate, the first campaign was in coordination with Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MOIC), and the second campaign was in coordination with the Sentence Enforcement Department.

The third inspection campaign was undertaken in the Southern Governorate in coordination with the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) and the Governorate’s respective Police Directorate.

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