Fun for some, nuisance for others
MUSCAT, MARCH 26 Hospitals annually record fire cracker-related injuries and fatalities especially during holiday seasons. Given the danger these pose to children and others, authorities have resorted to regulating the use and sale of crackers. As Eid Al Fitr approaches, the sound of firecrackers in residential neighbourhoods has increased, becoming more frequent due to their widespread availability among children, according to Mohammed al Raisi. This has become a source of concern for many families because of the health and psychological risks it poses, in addition to the disturbance it causes for the elderly and the sick. Despite continuous warnings about their dangers, fireworks are still widely used, necessitating intensified awareness and regulatory efforts. Al Raisi stressed the importance of not being complacent in addressing this issue, whether through laws or awareness campaigns. Al Raisi also urged people to educate their children about the dangers of these fireworks and alert authorities. Dr Reem al Zaabi warned that fireworks may lead to severe injuries such as burns and, in some cases blindness or loss of limbs due to the force of the explosion. She also explained that the loud noise produced by these fireworks could damage ears, leading to permanent hearing loss or persistent ringing (tinnitus). Toxic fumes from fireworks can cause breathing difficulties for the elderly and asthma patients. Al Zaabi further noted that the dangers of fireworks are not limited to physical harm but can cause excessive anxiety and fear in children, affecting their sleep and leading to nightmares. Given these challenges, addressing the issue of fireworks remains a shared responsibility between authorities and society. Continuous awareness campaigns, strict enforcement of regulations and tightened control over the distribution of these fireworks can help reduce the risks they pose to people's lives and safety. The Royal Oman Police warns of the consequences of using fireworks, due to the serious harm they cause to individuals and society. As part of its efforts to protect public safety and security, ROP said it will continue to tighten control over all border posts to stop smuggling of crackers. The police will pursue individuals involved in smuggling and trafficking fireworks and take legal action against them. Smugglers of fireworks face imprisonment for up to three years, a fine, or both penalties, in addition to the confiscation of the seized items, in accordance with Articles 145/4 and 143 of the Unified Customs Law of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States. ROP urged parents to raise awareness among their children about the dangers of using fireworks, due to physical and psychological effects on children, as well as the damage they can cause to property and the public nuisance they create.

UAE police warn against parking illegally near mosques during last 10 days of Ramadan
Authorities have launched intensive campaigns to prevent illegal parking around mosques, particularly during Taraweeh and Qiyam prayers in the last 10 days of Ramadan. The aim is to ease congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow as thousands of worshippers gather for prayers. Ajman Police strongly urged drivers to park in designated areas and follow traffic regulations to avoid fines and contribute to a safer environment for worshippers. 'We call on the community to cooperate and park responsibly. Simple actions, such as choosing proper parking spots, can make a significant difference in ensuring smooth traffic flow and safety for everyone,' Capt Hamdan Ahmed Al Raisi, head of traffic awareness and media at Ajman Police said. The crackdown comes as illegal parking has risen due to an increase in worshippers during the final days of Ramadan. 'As the number of worshippers increases during the last 10 days of Ramadan, we have observed a rise in improper parking, which not only causes traffic congestion but also poses safety risks. Our campaign focuses on raising awareness and enforcing traffic laws to prevent these violations,' explained Capt Al Raisi. As part of the ongoing campaign, Ajman Police have deployed additional patrols around mosques and will impose strict penalties on violators. Motorists found parking irresponsibly — such as blocking roads, parking on sidewalks, or obstructing other vehicles — face heavy fines and black points on their driving records. Parking in the middle of the road carries a fine of Dh1,000 and six black points, while blocking another vehicle will result in a Dh500 fine. Parking at intersections, curbs, or sidewalks also carry Dh500. In addition to fines, illegally parked vehicles may be towed, causing further inconvenience and penalty to offenders. Capt Al Raisi reiterated that the campaign is part of ongoing efforts to maintain public order and ensure safe vehicle and pedestrian movement, particularly during peak prayer times. Sharjah Police have also stepped up patrols around mosques during Ramadan, especially during the pre-dawn Tahajjud prayers, to manage traffic and prevent illegal parking.
