UAE govt extends helping hand to expatriates including Indians

The UAE government has extended a helping hand to expatriates, including Indians, during the holy month of Ramzan. In addition to curbing prices of essential commodities, authorities have also taken steps to make 4,000 items easily available in the market, reported keralakaumudi.com.

According to the officials, as a part of protecting consumer rights in the country, inspections have been intensified across the country. Strict action will be taken against violations.

The prices of items such as rice, chicken, bread, dairy products, cooking oil, sugar, pulses, bread and wheat will not increase in the month of Ramzan. Adequate availability of these items in the market has also been ensured. The market prices of most essential commodities used to go up significantly on special occasions, including Ramzan. This is why the authorities took action to curb the price hike even before the start of the month of Ramzan.

Earlier, the UAE Ministry of Human Resources had made adjustments to the working hours of employees working in the private sector. Working hours will be reduced by two hours during the holy month of Ramzan.
