Abu Dhabi: The first phase of Sahim, a toll-free number to report violaters of residency laws and infiltrators, was launched by the Department of Foreign Violators Follow Up at the Ministry of Interior's Naturalisation and Residency Department.
The Abu Dhabi number is a 24-hour service for the public to enhance joint efforts in controlling violations for the safety and stability of society. The move also comes in line with intensifying campaigns against residency law violaters.
As a result of the campaign, 174 violators were captured last Monday.
Major General Nasser Al Awady Al Minhali, assistant undersecretary of Naturalisation, Residency and Checkpoints Department at the ministry, said these steps have come in the framework of the developing efforts linked to the country's law regulating the entrance and residency of expatriates.
Al Minhali also pointed out the directives of Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, focusing on the appropriate measures to eliminate the violations and trespassing of illegal workers, once and for all.
Al Minhali called upon all establishments and individuals to refrain from giving jobs to violating workers and not to encourage them to stay in the country without valid residency and work permits.
