As part of Dubai Police’s campaign "Begging is a Wrong concept of Compassion,” 177 violators were arrested at the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
Colonel Ali Salem, Director of the Department of infiltrators at Dubai Police, said they operate according to an integrated security plan to combat begging in cooperation with partners and intensify patrols in places expected to be frequent by beggars.
"The campaign showed evident success in reducing the number of beggars annually, as strict procedures are taken against violators and the efforts of the General Department of Criminal Investigation to eliminate the phenomenon from our society," Col Salem added.
