Sharjah, April 6: As many as 720 illegal residents have been arrested in the emirate in the last five days, the police announced on Thursday.


SHARJAH — As many as 720 illegal residents have been arrested in the emirate in the last five days, the police announced on Thursday.


The arrests were made as part of the Sharjah Police’s yearlong campaign to round up illegal residents who have either run away from their sponsors or overstayed their visa period. They were arrested from the emirate’s industrial areas.


Brigadier Abdullah Mubarak Al Dukhan, Deputy Director of the Sharjah Police, said the majority of illegal residents had been involved in illegitimate businesses like selling counterfeit goods or pornographic films.


“The people we arrested were living in abandoned buildings, workshops, dilapidated houses and sites that were under construction. We are taking strict action against such offenders of the residency rules because they are threatening the security of our society, and are most likely to commit crimes,” said Brig Al Dukhan.


He urged the public to cooperate with the police and inform them about illegal residents in their neighbourhoods. The people can call the Najeed service at 800151, SMS to 7999, fax to 06-5529000, email to [email protected] or visit http://www.shjpolice.gov.ae/najeed and report.

Riyadh, Jun 20: Saudi Arabia will end a nationwide curfew and lift restrictions on businesses from Sunday morning after three months of lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus, state news agency SPA quoted a source in the interior ministry as saying on Saturday.

The curfew will be lifted as of 6 AM local time on Sunday. Restrictions will remain, however, for religious pilgrimages, international travel and social gatherings of more than 50 people.

The kingdom introduced stringent measures to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus in March, including 24-hour curfews on most towns and cities.

In May, it announced a three-phase plan to ease restrictions on movement and travel, culminating in the curfew completely ending on June 21.

The number of coronavirus infections has risen in recent weeks following a relaxation of movement and travel restrictions on May 28.

The kingdom has recorded 154,223 cases of COVID-19 and a total of 1,230 deaths, the highest in the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council.

Saudi Arabia plans to limit numbers at the annual haj pilgrimage to prevent a further outbreak of coronavirus cases, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters earlier this month.

Some 2.5 million pilgrims visit the holiest sites of Islam in Mecca and Medina for the week-long haj, a once-in-a-lifetime duty for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it. Saudi Arabia asked Muslims in March to put haj plans on hold and suspended the umrah pilgrimage until further notice.
