Nationwide drive shields economy and society

Bahrain’s labour market regulator carried out 1,133 inspections in one week, detaining 20 irregular workers and deporting 154 violators in a drive it says is designed to protect the Kingdom’s economic and social security.

Safeguarding stability

The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) said the inspections, conducted from September 7 to 13, also monitored violations related to provisions of regulating laws, especially labour market and residency regulations. Legal measures were taken regarding the observed violations.

Coordinated enforcement

According to LMRA, 1,120 inspection visits were carried out at various shops across the governorates, alongside 13 joint inspection campaigns. These included four campaigns in the Capital Governorate, four in Muharraq, two in the Northern Governorate and three in the Southern Governorate.

The Ministry of Interior, represented by the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) and the governorates’ police directorates, along with the Social Insurance Organization, took part in the operations.

The authority affirmed that coordination with government agencies will continue to intensify inspection campaigns and address any practices that could undermine the labour market or affect Bahrain’s stability and security. It renewed its call for public support by urging residents to report violations through its website, the call centre on 17506055, or the government’s Suggestions and Complaints System (Tawasul).
