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 24 joint inspection campaigns—eight in the Capital Governorate, three in the Muharraq Governorate, six in the Northern Governorate, and seven in the Southern Governorate—the Authority noted that 1,236 inspection visits were conducted on various shops across all governorates.
The Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) division of the Ministry of Interior, the corresponding Police Directorate of each Governorate, and the Social Insurance Organization are the government agencies that 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.
