Security operation launched to maintain public order

Manama : The Ministry of Interior said that a security operation was launched this morning in the village of Deraz to maintain order and remove violations punishable under law and that hinder the movement of citizens, stalls their interests and puts their safety at risk.

The security interference is to enforce security and public order since the site was turned into a meeting ground for suspects wanted in security-related cases and fugitives, the ministry posted on its Twitter account.

"Drivers planning to use Budaiya highway are requested to seek alternative roads until the traffic is back to normal," the ministry said. "Citizens are urged to cooperate with the police and follow instructions for the security and safety of all."
