In statements issued online, ROP officials have confirmed the following legal measures against individuals held responsible for the following infractions across various governorates:
North Al Batinah Governorate
— A violation fine has been issued against those involved in the illegal operation of a men’s tailor shop.
— Two groups of citizens have been detained for gathering in a public place, and administrative fines have been levied against them.
— A number of expatriates have been detained for practicing tailoring in violation of Supreme Committee directives and have had administrative fines issued against them.
South Al Batinah Governorate
