Sharjah24: Al Dhaid Municipality has seized an expired feed factory and housing for workers, unlicensed by the official authorities, in a farm located on Al Dhaid-Weshah road. The municipality reported that its inspectors found 4 persons, with Asian nationality and 2 of whom violated the state's residency laws, who operate the packing plant and take over the distribution process.
Salem Saeed bin Khamis Al Tunaiji, Head of Operations Department in the Municipality, said that the inspection teams of the Operations, Public Health, Safety and Municipal Inspection and Engineering Departments in coordination with Al Dhaid Police Station, seized quantities of unknown-source feed that did not match the standards required for animal consumption. Mold appears on them as a result of dampness and poor storage, and that factory workers re-fill them in bags with false information written for an unlicensed fictitious company, then deliver them to the shops, and the inspection team has also seized an unlicensed residence in which the violating workers reside.
He added that the seizure comes within the framework of the directives of Sharjah Executive Council to address the violations of farm owners who exploit them for illegal purposes, as this is detrimental to public security and public health.
Al Tunaiji pointed to the municipality’s keenness to eliminate the negative phenomena that violate the applicable laws and regulations, pointing to the constant guidance of the inspectors of the various departments in the municipality to urge them to follow up the farms, through patrols and inspections, and to arrest violators and deter them.
