This move is part of Dubai Police’s “Combat Begging” campaign, launched during Ramadan with the slogan “An Aware Society, Free of Begging.” The campaign focuses on raising awareness about the risks of begging and ensuring public safety.

Lieutenant Colonel Talib Al Amiri, Head of the Anti-Street Vending Section, explained that many of these vendors operate in labour accommodation areas, selling unregulated goods in unsafe and unsanitary conditions. He emphasized that these efforts are part of Dubai Police’s mission to keep the city safe and maintain its positive image.
