Manama : The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) carried out three inspection campaigns in the Capital and Muharraq Governorates, covering a number of shops, work sites and gathering places of labour.
The Authority pointed out that two joint inspection campaigns were carried out in the Capital Governorate, the first in coordination with the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA), the Governorate Police Directorate, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce along with the Capital Municipality, while the second was in partnership with the Judgments Enforcement Department, and the third was implemented in coordination with the General Department of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Evidence at the Ministry of Interior in the Muharraq Governorate.
