Liva Insurance reinforces commitment to public safety as gold sponsor of Traffic Safety Awareness Exhibition in Salalah
Salalah – Highlighting its continuous commitment to fostering a culture of safety and responsible driving, Liva Insurance proudly participated as a Gold Sponsor of the Traffic Safety Awareness Exhibition, organized by the Royal Oman Police (ROP) at the Salalah Gardens Mall. The event was inaugurated under the esteemed patronage of HE Najeeb Ali Al Rawas, Governor of the Al Dhahirah Governorate. Held during the peak of Salalah's renowned Khareef season, the exhibition perfectly aligns with Liva Insurance's strategic focus this year, reinforcing the importance of road safety among residents and visitors alike. Khareef annually attracts several visitors from across Oman and beyond, significantly increasing traffic on the roads and presenting distinct driving challenges. Throughout the exhibition, the Royal Oman Police provided visitors with essential safety guidelines and practical advice to effectively manage the unique driving conditions encountered during the Khareef season. Commenting on this initiative, Bader Al Marzouqi, Head of Distribution Personal Lines, stated: 'At Liva Insurance, safeguarding the well-being of our community is central to everything we do. Supporting initiatives such as the Traffic Safety Awareness Exhibition is an integral part of our strategy to enhance road safety awareness, especially during the Khareef season when Salalah experiences a significant influx of visitors. 'Through our continuous support of events like this, we aim to proactively educate drivers and the wider community about responsible driving practices, ultimately contributing to safer roads for everyone in Oman.' During the Khareef season, heavy fog often reduces visibility dramatically, requiring motorists to exercise heightened vigilance, use fog lights responsibly, and maintain safe distances between vehicles. Rainfall further complicates conditions, causing roads to become slippery, so drivers are advised to handle their vehicles gently, especially when navigating curves or steep turns. Additionally, roads near mountainous areas may pose risks from rocks unexpectedly descending onto roadways, demanding cautious driving at all times. Recognizing these seasonal challenges, Liva Insurance actively collaborates with the Royal Oman Police by advocating and promoting these essential driving guidelines. Through its dedicated support for crucial public safety initiatives like the Traffic Safety Awareness Exhibition, Liva Insurance continues to demonstrate leadership – not only as a provider of innovative insurance solutions – but also as an active partner in national efforts aimed at reducing road accidents and fostering a culture of responsibility and caution among all road users across the Sultanate of Oman. About Liva Insurance: Established in 2023 through the integration of Al Ahlia Insurance and National Life & General Insurance Company (NLGIC), Liva Insurance is the region's leading multi-line insurance company that provides Motor, Home, Travel, Health, Life and various business insurances serving the GCC region for over 80 years.

President Sheikh Mohamed establishes new National Anti Narcotics Authority
President Sheikh Mohamed issued a decree establishing a National Anti Narcotics Authority in the UAE. The agency has the responsibility of combating drug trafficking and smuggling, as well as overseeing the rehabilitation and treatment of addicts. The authority, chaired by Sheikh Zayed bin Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, will also create and implement strategies addressing narcotics and related crimes. Liaising with other agencies to tackle the sale of illegal drugs will also be a remit of the authority, state news agency Wam reported on Sunday. "The National Anti-Narcotics Authority will undertake a comprehensive set of vital mandates, reflecting the UAE's strategic vision to bolster community security, combat various drug-related crimes, and ensure an effective legislative and operational environment to curb this phenomenon," Wam said. "A key mandate includes tackling drug trafficking by tracking and dismantling smuggling and distribution networks, co-ordinating with security and judicial authorities to ensure offenders are brought to justice in accordance with the nation's laws." The body, which is an independent federal entity affiliated to the UAE Cabinet, will work closely with other national agencies to prevent illegal drugs being smuggled into or leaving the country. Another facet of the authority's remit will be dealing with chemicals used for non-medical purposes. This involves developing licensing mechanisms, trading and storage conditions and customs clearance procedures to ensure the lawful use of chemicals and preventing their misuse in illegal activities.
