Gulf News reader Sheeba Nazar wanted to draw the attention of the authorities to the lack of prayer rooms at Dubai Metro stations.

She wrote: ‘There are no prayer rooms in the Metro stations. A prayer room doesn’t take much space and there are such rooms in other public places, like the malls. So, why not in the stations? The authorities should have one built at every stop so that public transport users have a proper place to pray.’
