DM launches environmental campaign

It is the culmination of a campaign it started in February 2006 to implement classification and codification of land use in the emirate of Dubai in order to prohibit labour and bachelor accommodation as well as multi-family housing in the residential districts. The move is as per the rule to protect the residential environment and strengthen the security components and social stability.

Omar AbdulRahman, Head of Building Inspection Section in the Municipality called upon all the nationals, residents, and owners of the buildings utilized by the above mentioned categories of people on the necessity to vacate them as well as stop the establishments that had been added illegally within 30 days of the publication of this announcement.

Stringent actions, including fines and stoppage of transactions, will be taken against the violators in coordination with other government departments and establishments and as per the rules of the Local Order No.3 of 1999 pertaining to organizing building activities in the emirate of Dubai.

Dubai Municipality called upon the public to cooperate by reporting about any accommodation rented to these categories of people in the residential districts by calling on the 24-hour toll-free number 800900 or by submitting the report through Dubai Municipality website.
