Dubai Municipality inspectors, in cooperation with Dubai Police and the Dubai Naturalization and Residency Department, nabbed last month 543 persons including street vendors, beggars and illegal car washers. The sweep against the law-breakers had also resulted in the seizure of several low-quality goods and pirated CDs.
Civic inspectors conduct daily spot checks in streets and public places to prevent street vending, begging and car washing in public places by individuals in violation of a ruling by the Ministry of Labour in this regard. The nine inspectors at the Control Unit of the Markets Administration Section in the Assets Management Department carry out regular checks.
In January 2009, they caught a total of 543 people including 400 street vendors, 71 beggars, 43 car washers and 29 illegal butchers and fish cleaners.
A total of 1,398 counterfeit products including ready-made garments, perfumes, cameras, and watches that were fake international brands were confiscated.
Also, some 5,942 DVDs with pirated films and 65 pornographic movies, 680 foodstuff items including boxes of fruits and vegetables, 120 trolleys including 40 big trolleys and 80 small trolleys, in addition to six cartons of Pan were seized last month.
The law-breakers, who belong to various nationalities, would be handed over to the Dubai Naturalization and Residency Department for deportation in coordination with Dubai Police. The seized goods would be destroyed and disposed off safely after legal actions were taken against the violators.
The public is urged to call the Municipality Emergency office on 04-2232323 round-the-clock to report such illegal activities.
