Legal actions were taken in response to the observed violations of various regulating laws, particularly the Labour Market Regulatory Authority and the Residency Laws in the Kingdom of Bahrain, which were discovered as a result of the inspection campaigns and visits.
In addition to 26 joint inspection campaigns—10 in the Capital Governorate, 4 in the Muharraq Governorate, 5 in the Northern Governorate, and 7 in the Southern Governorate—the Authority noted that 1,083 inspection visits were conducted on various shops across all governorates.
The Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture, the Social Insurance Organization, the Governorate’s respective Police Directorate, and the Ministry of Interior, represented by the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA), all took part in the campaigns.
The Authority reaffirmed the continuation of cooperative coordination with government agencies to step up inspection campaigns in all of the Kingdom’s governorates and to deal with any infractions or practices that jeopardize the Kingdom’s economic and social security or the stability and competitiveness of the labor market.
By reporting infractions using the electronic form on the authority’s website, www.lmra.gov.bh, by calling the authority’s call center at 17506055, or through the government’s Suggestions and Complaints System (Tawasul), the Labour Market Regulatory Authority reaffirmed its call for all members of society to assist government agencies in combating illegal labor practices.
