The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) has announced the successful implementation of 1,089 inspection campaigns and visits between August 3 and 9, which resulted in the detention of 10 violating and irregular workers and the deportation of 130 violators from the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The inspections uncovered multiple breaches of Bahrain’s labour and residency laws, prompting the LMRA to take swift legal action.

According to the authority, 1,076 inspection visits were carried out across various shops in all governorates, along with 13 joint campaigns in coordination with multiple government entities. These included one campaign in the Capital Governorate, three in Muharraq, four in the Northern Governorate, and five in the Southern Governorate.

Participating government bodies included the Ministry of Interior — represented by the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) — the respective Police Directorates of each governorate, and the Social Insurance Organisation.

The LMRA emphasised its commitment to continuing joint efforts with other government agencies to intensify inspections across the Kingdom, with the aim of safeguarding Bahrain’s economic stability, social security, and labour market competitiveness.

The authority also renewed its call to the public to support efforts against illegal labour practices by reporting violations via its website (www.lmra.gov.bh), by calling the hotline (17506055), or through the government’s Suggestions and Complaints System (Tawasul).
