While the department will remain open from 8am to 4pm, the employees will work for five hours in alternating shifts in accordance with the Human Resources Management Law No.27 for 2006.

Major-General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director of DNRD, said that the department had already been following flexible working hours during the entire year to make it convenient for its customers, and will do so for the first time during Ramadan as well.

Al Marri revealed that DNRD asked the opinions of its employees and customers to decide on the most suitable timings during the Holy Month, and added that based on the results of the survey conducted by the Department of Performance Development at DNRD, the new flexible working hours system was adopted, ensuring that it is suitable for both the employees and the customers.
